James Hits the River on Durgin

Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Kevin Durgin and Jimmie James went to the turn blind versus blind on a board of Q♥8♥2♦J♣ when Durgin led out for 200,000.
James called to the 5♥ river and Durgin checked this time. James now fired out 400,000 and Durgin tanked for about a minute before he called.
James turned over J♦5♣ for two pair on the river and Durgin let out a frustrated sigh as he showed Q♦10♠ before mucking.
"If I fall asleep will you punch me every now and then?" James asked Durgin shortly afterward.
"I was going to punch you after that river," Durgin joked.
