James Gets the Double on Scary Runout
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Jefferson James shoved all in from the hijack for 5,050,000 and the player in the big blind went into the tank, before eventually calling the clock on himself. With two seconds left to spare, the big blind arrived at a call.
Jefferson James: A?K? 
Big blind: K?J?
The flop fell 9?6?J? and James went from being way ahead to way behind. The 3? turn offered no help, putting him on the brink of elimination, now needing an ace on the river to stay alive.
James saw the good news when the dealer put out the A? on the river, as the pot was pushed towards him.
