Two solid players were head-up on the turn. Nicola Basile, hailing from Toronto and who has a great resume including a WSOP-C ring was in a hand with Eric Leblond, another solid player who lives in New Brunswick and who is a regular at all of the Playground events were battling away.

With the blinds at 700/1,400, there was already just over 50,000 chips in the middle on a board of when Nicola Basile put in a bet of 21,000, only to be met by an all in re-raise for Basile’s tournament life from Leblond. There was both a flush draw and a straight draw showing and Basile was asking himself if he was good or not? He spent time tanking and in he end, he decided to let go of his hand and wait for the next one.

We will keep a close eye on this table for sure.
