Bansal Takes Too Long, Not That He'll Care

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up preflop, with early position Patrick Mahoney all in for 130,000, and the three players to his left, Paawan Bansal, Matthew Mcewan, and Jason Daly all wagering 310,000 of their own chips to create a side pot.

On the 9♦9♠3♣ flop, Bansal checked and Mcewan bet out for 250,000. Daly folded, which put the action back on Bansal. He counted out his chips, counted out 250,000, then after quite some time moved all in for 660,000. Mcewan sigh-called.

Patrick Mahoney: A♠J♥4♦2♠ All in
Paawan Bansal: 9♣8♦6♠5♥ All in
Matthew Mcewan: K♣K♦Q♥2♦

Bansal had flopped trips, and improved to a straight on the 4♥7♦ runout to scoop the monster pot. Mcewan questioned why his opponent took that long before shoving, describing it as, "pointless." Bansal replied that he wasn't sure whether to slow-play. Either way, he won the pot.
