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.
