Aces Boost James' Stack to Over a Million
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Julien Sitbon opened to 30,000 from middle position before Bobby James three-bet to 70,000 from the cutoff. Sitbon called.
Sitbon check-called a bet of 88,000 from James on the 6?2?8? flop.
After Sitbon checked the 2? turn, James shoved for 334,000. Sitbon deliberated over his decision for a while before eventually he made the call to put James at risk.
Bobby James: A?A? 
Julien Sitbon: A?6?
James was ahead with his aces and just had to avoid a six or a diamond to double-up. The dealer peeled of the K? on the river and James' bullets had boosted his stack to over a million.
