Alcorn Doubles Through James
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Robert James raised to 100,000 from middle position, and Thomas Alcorn called in the cutoff.
James checked a 
flop to Alcorn, who bet 50,000. James check-raised to 200,000, then snap-called when Alcorn three-bet shoved for 475,000 total.
Thomas Alcorn: 
Robert James: 
"Straight," Alcorn said.
The 
turn gave James some hope with a Broadway draw, but the 
river gave Alcorn the double.
