Alexander Doubles in Spectacular Style
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Joe Foote raised to 120,000 under the gun and John Alexander three-bet to 325,000 in middle position. Foote called, and the flop came 6♣4♦4♠.
Alexander then bet 500,000, and Foote quickly announced all in. Alexander snap-called for 925,000.
John Alexander: Q♠Q♦ 
Joe Foote: J♦J♠
Alexander had Foote dominated, but the J♥ fell on the turn to give Foote a set. His lead didn't last for long, however, as the Q♥ came on the river to give Alexander his own set and the double up.
"That just happened on the other table a hand ago," Michael Cohen said.
"The best hand won," MR added.
