An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes pressure and suction side walls joined to one another at leading and trailing edges and extending in a radial direction. A serpentine cooling passage is provided between the pressure and suction side walls. A passageway adjoins a passage wall and is fluidly interconnected to an upstream turn that has radially spaced apart innermost and outermost contours. The innermost contour is provided at the wall. A resupply hole is configured to exit downstream from the innermost contour.
