James checked the {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop to Alcorn, who bet 200,000. James called.

The {j-Clubs} fell on the turn, and James checked again. Alcorn bet 300,000 James made the call.

The {5-Spades} hit the river, and James bet 400,000. Alcorn called, only to sigh and muck when James showed him {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a full house, and the duo continue to trade the chip lead back and forth.

John Gallaher
John Gallaher

Robert James raised to 250,000 from the button.

"I got deja vu," John Gallaher said in the big blind. He made the call a few moments later.

Gallaher jammed for 1,000,000 on the {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop, and James snap-called.

John Gallaher: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Robert James: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Gallaher was looking for a five to survive, but the {a-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river left James with top set and Gallaher two spots shy of his fourth WSOPC ring.
