Basilicata Turns a Straight and Gets Paid
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was picked up on a 7♥3♠7♠4♥ board with 5,000 in the middle.
Under the gun had fired out a bet of 3,200 before Vincent Basilicata moved all in from the big blind for 17,400. His opponent was deep in the tank but eventually made the call.
Vincent Basilicata: 6♠5♥ 
Under The Gun: K♥10♥
The river K♦ was safe, and Basilicata faded backdoor hearts to drag in the pot and double up.
