Gus Wins a MASSIVE One

There is only one word for this hand - as the online kids say, "SICK".

Gus Hansen limped in on the button - no change there - and Jim Collopy raised out of the big blind - no change there either.

The flop came down {8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Collopy bet out 78,000. Hansen called, and they saw a turn.

Turn: {5-Diamonds}

This time Collopy checked. Hansen thought about it for a while before betting 128,000. Collopy just smooth called. Intriguing.

River: {2-Diamonds}

Collopy checked again, and the action was on Hansen. He thought about it for a while - and thought - and thought some more - and then drank a whole bottle of water - and thought about it again - and then announced all in.

An instacall from Collopy, followed by a sound like he'd been punched in the stomach.

Collopy: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for trips
Hansen: {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a rivered full house

Hansen went from the short stack to the big chip leader in one fell swoop. The current counts are Hansen 2.54 million, Collopy 1.3 million.
