Burford Doubles through James

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to Greg James in middle position and he raised to 26,000. Mark "Milkman" Burford, next-to-act, moved all in for 107,000. The action folded back to James and he snap-called.

Burford - {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
James - {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

"Can you believe it?" asked Burford.

The hand was all but over on the flop when it came {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, giving Burford a set. The {4-Diamonds} came on the turn, opening the possibility of a chop, but instead James improved to a set of jacks on the river when the {j-Diamonds} hit the felt.
