Baskin Bests Yamada
Derrick Yamada opened to 100,000 in first position, Clint Baskin defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned 
. Baskin led for 150,000, and Yamada called.
The turn was another eight - the 
- and Baskin led for 225,000. Yamada called.
The 
fell on the river, and Baskin fired a third and final bullet worth 240,000. Yamada scrunched his face, reached for chips, shuffled them quietly for a minute or so, and called.
Baskin tabled 
for queens and eights, Yamada mucked, and Baskin raked in the pot.
