Terrible Flop, But Call Anyway

Tony Basile raised to 33,000 before Frank Saffioti made it 133,000 to go. Basile made the call.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Basile moved all in, covering his opponent.

Saffioti said, "That's a terrible flop for me," but he decided to make the call anyway for his tournament life and tabled {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Remarkably, he was in front as Basile shook his head in disgust and revealed {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and river the {Q-Hearts} and Saffioti, who made an amazing play with a gutshot draw on the bubble last night to claim the overnight chip lead, is now back in contention with 540,000 chips. Basile is down to 490,000.
