Mamut Flips For It All
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Terrance Reid raised to 400,000 on the button and Jim Collopy called in the big blind.
The flop came 5♣9♥5♥ and Reid bet 225,000. Collopy called to the 2♣ turn, where Reid bet another 1,100,000. Collopy folded this time, and Reid's rail let out a round of applause.
"A lot of media bias," Collopy joked.
The next hand, Nikolai Mamut opened to 400,000 on the button and Collopy three-bet to 1,375,000 in the small blind. Mamut then moved all in for 5,375,000, and Collopy snap-called.
Nikolai Mamut: J♠J♥ 
Jim Collopy: A♦Q♣
Mamut was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 2♠4♦2♣, while the J♦ turn improved him to a full house and left Collopy drawing dead. The river was the 3♦ and Mamut doubled up.
