Basta's Aces Hold
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Basel Khabbazeh raised in the cutoff before John Basta three-bet to 16,000 on his immediate left. Action folded back around to Khabbazeh, who made it 48,000.
Basta called to the 6?8?7? flop, where both players checked. Khabbazeh led out for 27,000 on the 10? turn and Basta tossed in the call.
Another pair of checks followed the Q? river, with Khabbazeh turning over A?K? for ace-high. Basta tabled A?A? for a pair, good enough to claim the pot.
