James Pulls it Back to Nearly Even
Level 31
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Thomas Alcorn limped in on the button, and Robert James checked in the big blind.
Both players checked the ![]()
![]()
flop, and James checked the
turn. Alcorn bet 200,000 and James check-raised to 500,000. Alcorn called.
James checked the
river, and Alcorn bet 1,000,000. James, who had just 1.89 million remaining, tanked for a few minutes.
"Like your hand again, eh?" James asked Alcorn, who responded, "I like it for a million."
"I can't fold this heads-up, I'm sorry," James said before calling. Alcorn tabled ![]()
for top two pair, but James held ![]()
for trip threes and the winner.
