Jim Collopy Eliminated in 22nd Place (€10,151)

First into the pot from the button, Jim "Mr_BigQueso" Collopy raised it up to 19,000. The small blind quickly folded, but Ryan Franklin asked for a count from the big. Both players had about 200,000 in front of them, with Franklin having the slightly covering stack. He quietly announced, "All in."

Collopy had his earphones in and didn't initially hear the announcement. He took one side out and looked around, "Huh?" The dealer repeated, "Player is all in," and Collopy instantly called for his tournament life.

Showdown
Collopy: {A-Diamonds}

Franklin:

Collopy stood from his chair and wandered away from the table. "Okay," he reassured himself. "We can do this."

The flop was a clean slate for Queso, coming out {2-Spades}

. The turn {4-Clubs}

provided some chop outs for Franklin, but this would not be a split pot. The {J-Spades}

peeled off on the river, and Collopy could only shake his head and meander off toward the rail.

After another deep run in a major tournament, Collopy comes up short, exiting in 22nd place.
