Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 7,000 ante
James Alexander raised to 65,000 and Shawn Sheikhan three-bet to 215,000. Alexander called. Sheikhan stood pat and Alexander opted to draw one.
Sheikhan checked and Alexander bet 175,000. Sheikhan quickly called but mucked when shown 
for a number three which took down the pot.
With that, Alexander moved up to second in chips behind Sammartino.
