A player in middle position raised to 150. Kenna James made the call from the cutoff. The small blind re-popped it to 400. The original raiser called, as did James.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

and it checked around. The small blind checked the turn after it fell the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and the player in middle position bet to 700. James made a raise to 1,700. Only the middle-position player called.

The river was the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and it checked to James. He bet 1,500 and the player called. Both players turned up {K-?}

{K-?}

{J-?}

, but James had it in spades and commented, "I should get 3% more of the pot because I was suited."
