Does James Really Have it on the Flop?

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alex James raised the pot to 60,000 under the gun and got called by Brian Yoon in late position. The flop came QKA. James continued with a 30,000 bet and got called once again.

Keeping the pressure, James fired another 65,000 on the 8 turn but Yoon continued to hang on.

Increasing the pressure, James shot 80,000 on the river 3. Yoon decided to push back with 600,000. Not having it, James snap-shoved all-in for about 800,000. After asking for a count, Yoon folded.

James, happy scooping his pot, declared he held ten-jack and had it on the flop. Players were teasing him that that needed verification as he didn't turn his cards over.
