Christopher Basile Eliminated in 11th Place ($87,200)
Level 42
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Christopher Basile raised to 14,000,000 from under the gun, which left him just 2,500,000 behind.
Action folded to Brian Smith in the cutoff, who made the call, as did Matthew Higgins in the small blind.
On the 2♠8♦A♦ flop, it was checked to Smith, who bet out for 4,000,000. Higgins made the call, as did Basile for his tournament life.
Smith and Higgins checked down the 2♥ turn and 10♣ river. Smith tabled 3♠3♦ for two baby pair, Higgins K♠10♠ for kings-up, and Basile 9♦7♦ for air. Higgins was shipped the pot while Basile was sent to the rail in 11th place.
