Basile Stuns an Opponent on the River
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Chris Basile had a raise of 41,000 in front of him from the big blind before an opponent in early position moved all in for 146,500. Basile agonized over the decision for several minutes, but he eventually called to put his opponent at risk.
All-in Player: A♦A♠ 
Chris Basile: Q♥Q♠
Basile had run his queens right into two aces with a massive pot at stake. The J♥9♣8♣ flop gave him some hope with a straight draw, while the turn was the 3♣. The river, though, was the 10♠ as Basile spiked a straight to send his opponent to the rail.
