Basil Busts One With a Boat

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After a three-bet shove from a short-stacked player in late position, Ira Basil four-bet jammed for slightly more out of the big blind to isolate.

Ira Basil: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Basil faded a flopped flush draw improving to a full house on the river to drag the pot and basically scoop a double.
