The Friendly Confines

After a slow start at his first table, James Van Alstyne has been moved over to the table including Ylon Schwartz and Dennis Phillips. And it appears he's finding the confines of his new home a little more friendly.

After a player in early position made it 400 to go and Phillips called on the button, Van Alstyne made it 1,500 to see a flop. Both players called, but when Van Alstyne led out for 2k on the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, only the EP raiser came along for the ride.

Both players checked the {7-Clubs} turn, but Van Alstyne found a 2,500 chip bet on the {9-Spades} river was enough to take it down and move back above his original starting stack - but barely.
