James Recovers With Top Pair
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Robert James raised to 75,000 from middle position, then called a three-bet to 200,000 from Thomas Alcorn in the cutoff.
James check-called a bet of 75,000 from Alcorn on both the 
flop and 
turn, and both players checked the 
river.
"Check's good, I gotta pocket pair," Alcorn told James. James revealed the 
for a pair of aces and took down the pot.
