"June $50,000 GTD"
$75 No Limit Hold'em
Level 23 (Blinds 12,000/24,000/3,000)
Players Remaining: 84/1,725

Patricia Basilio (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

Just moments after featuring Tom Millward on the blog, he got into a pot with Patrcia Basilio worth just over 500,000.  The two would be all-in on a flop of J 10 5, with Millward having flopped a set of fives (5 5), and Basilio holding A A.

The turn would bring another club, giving Basilio the lead, and a potential double up.  The river was the 2, and Basilio would watch as the dealer cut down her stack for Millward to match.

Pat Basilio - 540,000
Tom Millward - 50,000


Millward is just one of a group of players experiencing a very roller coaster day.  Raminder Singh was seemingly cruising to start the day, and amassed a stack of 450,000 within only a few levels.  After moving to Table 2, it only took a couple of hands for Singh to drop down to 90,000 (after losing a big pot to Scott Hecker).  Raminder than proceeded to run that up to 300,000, and now sits with just over (12) big blinds (250,000).
