Hansen Hurting Early

[user162117]

Stephen Hansen is now one of the shortest stacks in the room, courtesy of the following hand that recently played out on Table 31. It all started with Sam Razavi opening the pot to 10,000 from early position. Hansen then three-bet to 25,000 from middle position. Wayne Bentley wanted to get involved from the small blind, making the call. The big blind tanked for a long time before getting out of the way, prompting Razavi to say, "It's a prerequisite to slow down on Day 3, isn't it."

Rzavi quickly folded his cards and the dealer flipped over a {2-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Clubs} flop. Bentley checked here and Hansen bet 30,000. At this point, Bentley tanked and then check-raised top 80,000. Now it was Hansen's turn to go deep into the tank. Eventually, around 5 minutes after the hand started, Hansen would fold and Bentley would rake in the pot.
