James Gets Two Better Aces to Fold
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Bobby James A?J? raised to 100,000 from under the gun before Oliver Weis A?Q? made it 285,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to James, who four-bet to 600,000, committing half of his stack. Weis let go of his better ace, and James took in the pot.
Marta Miquel Munoz A?K? opened to 100,000 from under the gun and James A?2? defended his big blind. Neither player connected on the J?J?4? flop and action checked through to the 8? turn. James check-raised to 225,000 over a bet of 80,000 and was called.
The Q? completed the board, and Miquel sealed the checkmark. However, Miquel folded the better hand after James fired out 490,000.
