Balaban Busto

The action was limped preflop before all the chips went into the middle on a flop of {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. A short-stacked Tim Balaban held {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair but chip leader Roy Bhasin had flopped a set of fives with {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and river the {A-Diamonds} to send Balaban to bed.
