A couple of hands after the final table was established, N. Vijayan was the first to be
eliminated. The sales manager from Kuala Lumpur hit the rails with $20,020 only minutes
before the remaining players recessed for dinner.
Shortly after the players returned from break, Nick Memeti was the next to go. Memeti
called Anh Lu’s pre-flop raise of 30k and saw a 7c 4c 3h hit the board. After the 2h and 10c
showed on the turn and river Memeti raised while Lu re-raised all-in. Memeti called and
showed pocket 3’s for the set. However, Lu’s turned over A-5 giving him the straight and
Memeti an eighth place finish.
Mark Petrillo helped to further the adage about pocket jacks as his all-in against Fabrice
Soulier’s pocket As,Ah sent him to the rail. Salt was added to Petrillo’s wound as Soulier
flopped a set before a meaningless turn and river.
Next out was John Buttifant. The 22-year old college student moved all-in while Soulier
called. Buttifant’s pocket 9’s could not hold up against the Frenchman’s A-6 as Ah showed
on the flop. The Kh on the turn and the 5h river sealed Butifant’s fate at sixth place.
Earl Coggins was eliminated next after going all-in with 6-8 suited. Baktash Gulzarzada
called with Ad-Jc and eliminated Coggins with the high-card ace.
Soulier saw a 4th place finish after being crippled in a previous hand. His all-in Qc-7c was
called by Lu’s 9c-Kc. Although Soulier flopped a pair of queens, jubilation turned into defeat
after Lu caught a river Ks.
In third place was Baktash Gulzarzada. The Afghani-born mortgage broker moved all in for
384k. Bansi called. His Ah-Ks dominated Praz’s As-8s while the board failed to improve
either player’s hand.
Heads-up action pit Praz Bansi against Anh Lu who experienced one of the most amazing
comebacks of this year’s WSOP. Earlier in the day, a bad beat left Lu with a pitiful 10k stack.
Unwavering, he built his stack back up to a phenomenal 250k through a miracle three-way
all-in, a couple of more all-ins and further aggressive pre-flop strategy.
“A miracle,” Lu answered through his interpreter and mentor, Men “The Master” Nguyen
when asked how he was able to come back from such a low stack.
However, Bansi was the aggressor during heads-up action forcing his opponent to fold four
times after reraising Lu pre-flop. Crippled, Lu could only go all-in with 8s-3s against Bansi’s
ace-anything. An ace on the river gave Bansi the victory. “Amazing,” replied Bansi when
asked how it felt to be a WSOP gold bracelet winner. “I started with 1500 chips, and just
threw some up… I got moves,” Bansi said with a grin.
