Big Blind Special Frustrates Basely

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

George Devlin was in the big blind and bet 23,000 into a pot of 45,000 on the 2537 flop. His opponent was Pierre Basely, who called in middle position.

Basely made another quick call when Devlin sized down to 21,200 on the 2 river, seeing his opponent table 84 for a flush.

Basely slammed his 99 on the table in frustration and muttered some French to himself as he saw the pot being dragged across the table.
