Bansi Set Up for a Fall

[user265690]

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Praz Bansi is down to 14,000 after losing a brutal hand against Miroslav Alilovic. Pre-flop Bansi made it 350 to go from middle position and called when Alilovic, who is sat to Bansi's direct left, three-bet to 1,025. On the flop Bansi checked, Alilovic bet 1,800, Bansi check-raised to 4,500 and Alilovic smooth called.

On the turn Bansi bet 6,500 and Alilovic quickly made it 12,500 to play. Bansi then asked Alilovic to move his hands so he could eye the Frenchman's remaining chips (roughly 13,000) whilst this was going on a couple of the other players at the table alerted the dealer to the fact that Alilovic's raise was not legal and so the dealer instructed Alilovic to put out another 500 chips to make the bet 13,000 total.

Another minute or so passed whilst Bansi mulled over his decision, it was clear from his expression that he didn't much like the situation he found himself in but that he also had a strong hand. After some more thought Bansi moved all-in and Alilovic snap called.

Bansi: - middle set
Alilovic: - top set

The completed the board and Bansi said, "nice hand," as Alilovic dragged the pot, the latter had exactly 25,000 total on the turn and is up to 61,175 as a result.
