James Plays Three Consecutive Hands
Jason James came back from the dinner break full of energy and was involved in three consecutive pots.
First, Luis Vasquez opened the cutoff to 325,000 and James defended his big blind.
On the 8♣9♣9♥ flop, both players checked to the Q♥ turn. James bet 225,000, and Vasquez called.
A 2♥ completed the board and James fired 400,000, which Vasquez called.
James tabled K♣J♠ but Vasquez had the winner with A♠J♥ for ace-high.
Next, Sami Bechahed opened the cutoff to 300,000 and James shoved from the small blind. Bechahed folded.
Lastly, Bechahed opened the hijack to 300,000 and James three-bet the button to 800,000. Bechahed called.
The flop came 2♥8♣5♥ where Bechahed check-called a bet of 500,000 from James.
On the 7♠ turn, both players checked to the 6♦ river. Bechahed shoved, and James folded.
