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.
