Hall Doubles and Leaves Basile on Fumes
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Thomas Hall made it 4,000,000 to play from early position, and action folded around to Christopher Basile in the small blind, who went into the tank briefly before he three-bet all in, having Hall slightly covered. Hall then went into the tank and double-checked the amounts before he made the call for his tournament life.
Thomas Hall: 10♦10♠
Christopher Basile: A♦Q♥
No help for Basile on the K♣7♦K♦ flop, and when the 8♦ turn and 3♠ river both bricked out, Hall was shipped the massive pot for a double-up while Basile was left running on fumes.
