Alexander Takes a Hit
Level 17
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Big-O
The action folded around to James Alexander who raised it up to 5,000 on the button. Eddie Blumenthal three-bet to 17,000 from the small blind and Alexander called. The flop came 
and Blumenthal made a pot-sized bet of 36,000. Alexander stuck in enough chips to raise and the two players got all of the chips in the middle.
Eddie Blumenthal: 
James Alexander: 
Alexander flopped two pair but Blumenthal had an overpair and a straight draw. Just as he cheered for a ten, the 
landed on the turn and Blumenthal made a straight. The 
on the river changed nothing and Blumenthal scooped the entire pot to double up through Alexander for a total of 78,800.
