James raised to 500,000 under the gun and action folded to Ali, who defended his big blind.
The dealer fanned Q♠9♦6♥ on the board and the excitement level went through the roof after Ali checked. James bet 450,000, which resulted in Ali check-raising to 1,300,000.
James took a few moments, and then came over the top with a 3,000,000 re-raise. Ali looked down at his stack, and then pushed all in, which resulted in a snap call from James, who put in his team’s remaining 8,625,000 and was at risk.
Jason James: Q♣9♠ 
Richard Ali: J♥10♠
Ali flopped an open-ended straight draw, while James flopped two pair.
The dealer placed J♠ on the turn, and then 3♠ on the river gave Team Setna the winning hand and massive double up.
