Jim Basham

In an flash, Jim Bahsam has stolen the chip lead from Chris Moneymaker and left the 2003 WSOP Main Event champ in rebuilding mode.

Basham made it 2,000, Moneymaker made it 5,000 and Basham shipped it in for close to 80,000 total. Not expecting a monster, Moneymaker made the call with {a-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, but Basham had a monster, holding {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Basham held on to grab the chip lead.
