Stand Up Trick Works for James

Calum Grant

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Eric Apikian opened to 7,000 from middle position. Alcaraz three-bet to 16,500 from the hijack before Xavier James jammed for 32,000 from the big blind.

Apikan reshoved as the big stack and Alcaraz called off his stack of 52,000.

Xavier James: 5♣5♦ All in
Alcaraz: K♠K♥ All in
Eric Apikian: 7♥7♠

James went from worst to first, as he found a five on the J♣10♣5♠ flop to make a set. The board finished with the 6♠3♦.

James tripled up while Alcaraz won a 40,000 side pot.
