Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

At the cutoff, Christopher Basile opened to 550,000, keeping 125,000 in his stack. However, in the big blind, Camille Brown raised him, putting a pile of chips in the middle to force him to go all-in.

Basile checked the payout. But as there was no pay jump, he didn't wait to call.

Christopher Basile: K♥8♥
Camille Brown: Q♠J♠

On the flop 10♠7♣6♠, Brown had a flush draw. But it's the J♦ on the turn that secured her victory in the hand, before the river 8♦. Basile was eliminated, while Brown's stack is now around 3,150,000 chips.
