Bantick Straightens Out Yan
We caught the action on the flop in a three-way pot between Brit Stephen Bantick, Erik Seidel, and [Removed:17] who between them have over 1.1 million in chips.
With the flop reading both Bantick and Seidel, sitting in the small and big blind respectively, checked the action over to Yan who checked it right back.
Bantick and Seidel again check on the turn and Yan fired out a bet of 11,500 into a pot of 12,000.
Bantick check-raised to 35,500, Seidel got out of the way and Yan gave the Englishman the stare down. Bantick however, was giving nothing away and after tanking for a minute Yan eventually tossed in the call.
The river saw Bantick tank for 30-seconds or so before counting out a sizable stack of yellow 5k chips, pausing to add two blue 1k chips and a single red 500 chip before sliding them over the line for a bet of 67,500 in total.
Yan thought it over briefly before tossing in calling chips.
��You have the straight right?�� he asks Bantick, who nods the affirmative, rolling over to scoop the pot and climb to 410,000 while Yan dropped to 320,000 or so.
