Basil Exposition

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Anytime three players stand up in anticipation of an all-in encounter, the chances for fireworks are high, and a recent hand demonstrated this fact perfectly.

Ira Basil moved his short stack into the middle holding {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} against two opponents, but he found himself needed a miracle against {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

Looking for three more diamonds, Basil was disappointed when the flop came all black, but the {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} did offer a glimmer of hope.

Turn: {4-Hearts}

When the dealer burned and turned, Basil's tablemates gasped at his good fortune, and when the river fell {k-Spades}, many congratulated him on staving off elimination in such an unlikely fashion.
