Li Eliminated

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The action was caught with the board reading {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Sixiao ‘Juicy’ Li checked from late position, as her opponent bet out 2,200. She quickly moved all in for her remaining 7,675 in chips and waited to see what her opponent would do. After getting a count, he made the call, and both players tabled their cards.

Li: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Li got the call she wanted and looked in great shape to double, until the {Q-Hearts} fell on the river to give her opponent the victory.

A shocked Li could only stand from her chair, as she paced up and down along the side of the room. Eventually she stopped, making her way over to the media desk to assure us she was good.

Collopy Gets Paid

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, the small blind checked his option. Jim Collopy was in late position, and bet out 3,600 in chips. The other two players in the hand got out of the way, as the small blind made the call to see the {Q-Hearts} complete the board.

The small blind checked again, before being met a quick bet of 7,600 from Collopy. He counted out the call, and pushed it into the middle, before mucking instantly when Collopy confidently tabled his {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a full house.

The recent recipient of a WSOP gold bracelet is cruising with 35,000 in chips.

Easy Come Easy Go for Collopy

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jim Collopy has been involved in a flurry of hands recent that has seen his stack go up and down like a yo-yo. In the first hand, Collopy made it 700 to go from under the gun, and the button three bet it to 1,550. It folded back to Collopy, and he three bet it to 3,600. He was called, and we were off to a heads up flop.

That flop was {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}, and Collopy kept up the aggression with a bet of 3,000. He was called, and both players checked when the {q-Hearts} hit the turn. The river brought the {j-Diamonds}, and Collopy fired out a bet of 8,000. His opponent chucked in the call, and Collopy rolled over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a turned set. That had his opponent beat, and Collopy jumped up to 55,000 after that hand.

We caught up with the action on the very next hand on the flop, which read {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Collopy checked to his late position opponent, who fired out 800. Collopy fired back with a check raise to 3,300, and his opponent made the call. The turn brought the {9-Clubs}, and Collopy kept betting, this time for 4,800. He was called, and the river brought the {q-Diamonds}.

Collopy fired yet again, this time for 8,000, but his opponent wasn't going anywhere, as he tossed the call in. Collopy could only mustered up {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for third pair, and his opponent rolled over {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

After that pot, Collopy's stack dropped back down to 37,000.

Laidlaw Takes One Out

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

In the final hand before the break, Jim Collopy opened the pot with a bet of 700 from the cut-off. Daniel Laidlaw made a raise from the button, and before he could announce it clearly to the rest of the table, the player in the big blind moved all in for his remaining 8,300 in chips. Collopy instantly folded and Laidlaw snap-called as the players tabled their cards.

Laidlaw: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

Board: {5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out favourably for Laidlaw, as he sent a player to the rail, and moves up to 31,000 in chips.

Laidlaw Losses A Few

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The player underthe gun raised it up to 900, and it folded all the way around to Daniel Laidlaw, who made the call. They went heads up to a flop of {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, and Laidlaw checked to his opponent, who fired out 900 again. Laidlaw called, and the turn brought the {2-Diamonds}. Laidlaw check called another bet, this time of 1,600, and the river brought the {4-Spades}.

Laidlaw checked a third time, and his opponent bet a third time. It was 3,500 this time around, and that was too much for Laidlaw, as he kicked his hand in, dropping him to 22,000 in the process.

No More Lin

The hand started with the player in the hijack opening to 800. The button made the call before Celina Lin moved all in for her remaining 4,750 from the big blind. The original raiser asked for a count, and made the call, as the other player got out of the way.

Lin: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Board: {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Unfortunately for Lin she was unable to make a pair, as she left the tournament floor.
