Basile Hits River to Double
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Eusebiu Jalba opened to 120,000 from middle position before Pierre Basile three-bet 300,000 from the button. Action folded to Jalba, and he jammed as the bigger stack. Basile, with 970,000 total, called for his tournament life.
Pierre Basile: A?K?
Eusebiu Jalba: Q?Q?
Jalba's queen remained ahead after the 10?8?6? flop and J? turn, but the K? river paired Basile up to ensure his survival.
