Tony Basile Eliminated in 3rd Place (AU$266,000)

Talk about action! The dust had barely settled on the elimination of Antonio Fazzolari then Martin Rowe and Tony Basile went to war. Rowe opened the pot from the button for 150,000. Jason Gray folded his small blind before Tony Basile reraised out of the big blind to 450,000.

It took Martin Rowe about three seconds to shove all of his chips into the middle, more than 5 million. He had Basile well covered.

"Wow," said a shocked Basile. He peeked at his cards a second time and then went into the tank. After about a minute, he made the call. With a total of 5.2 million chips in the middle, it was the largest pot of the tournament.
