Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Thomas Alcorn limped in on the button, and Robert James checked his option in the big blind.

James bet 600,000 on the {q-Clubs} river, and Alcorn called. "King-high," James said, showing {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Alcorn turned over {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for ace-high and the winner.

Alcorn Binks the River to Double Through James

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Thomas Alcorn
Thomas Alcorn

Alcorn limped in on the button, and James raised to 500,000 in the big blind.

"All in," Alcorn said, three-bet shoving for 3.5 million. James tanked for two minutes, then called.

Thomas Alcorn: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Robert James: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

"Need a deuce," Alcorn said.

The {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop added a gutshot to Alcorn's outs, but the {8-Spades} turn was a brick. The {2-Diamonds} hit the river, and the marathon heads-up match will continue a little longer.

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Robert James limped in on the button, and Thomas Alcorn checked his option in the big blind.

Alcorn checked the {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop to James, who bet 200,000. Alcorn check-raised to 400,000, and James called.

Alcorn bet 400,000 on the {3-Hearts} turn, and James called.

"It was either that or a busted flush draw," James told Alcorn as he showed he called with {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}.
