Pocket Rockets Propel Basha to a Double

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After a player had opened for 10,000, Quan Zhou raised to 26,000 from the button and the UK's Lyndon Basha four-bet jammed for 119,000 from the small blind. The original raiser folded, and Zhou made the call.

Zhou: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Basha: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Basha then said he and Fabrice Soulier joked that they would fold aces preflop so close to the bubble, but obviously he couldn't do it. Good thing too as he reaped the reward with a full double after the board ran out a clean {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.
