Bassam Spikes Set for Early Double

Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, Mohammed Bassam and Joel Trevino got it all in preflop, with Bassam at risk.
Mohammed Bassam: 8?8?
Joel Trevino: A?Q?
Bassam needed to hold with his eights, but his heart sank when an ace appeared back in the window... but an eight was right behind it to give him a set!
It was still a sweat on the turn of 8?A?10?9? as Trevino could still hit a jack, but the river was the brick 7? to give Bassam the double.
