Christopher Basile Eliminated in 11th Place ($87,200)

Level 42 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Christopher Basile
Christopher Basile

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 28A 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 33 for two baby pair, Higgins K10 for kings-up, and Basile 97 for air. Higgins was shipped the pot while Basile was sent to the rail in 11th place.
