Jim Collopy has about 37,000 chips left and a herd of ants in his pants. Collopy can rarely be seen sitting in his chair these days, instead preferring to wander the tournament floor like a nomad in between hands. He meandered over to where we were standing and started shooting the breeze.
"I need chips. I have no chips." We asked him how many he left to find out he's hovering around the point of no return with 15 big blinds.
"That's a problem," we said. "Especially considering the goal of this particular poker tournament is the accumulation of chips."
"Yes," he nodded and smirked. "What with the escalating blinds and shortening tables and all."
"Indeed," we answered.
Collopy started to walk away but turned back. "I keep talkin' up a chop, but nobody's listening yet. Even chop?"
Micah Raskin opened the pot to 5,000 from late position, and Jonathan Little three-bet shoved for 21,000 on the nose. Raskin quickly called with 
, and Little's 
were behind but drawing live.
Um, quite live. The board ran out 
, and the sight of the board stopped Will "The Thrill" Failla in the middle of the conversation he'd been having at the end of the table.
"Quads." he said flatly. "Are you serious right now? Jonathan Little..." Failla turned his attention to the dealer, pointing at a big square of vacant felt. "You have any more tens you can put out there? Like here, or here, or here? Jesus, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten. He had six of a kind, I swear to god."
It was four of a kind by our count, but however many tens Little had, they were good enough to double him up to about 47,000.
Two simultaneous hands at adjacent tables:
Eli Berg was the first to find pocket aces, and he got his last ~50,000 chips into the middle preflop with 
. Action came from Bryn Kenney and his , and the board ran out 
. Berg is up to 105,000 now, dropping Kenney down to about 57,000.
At nearly the same time, Wooyang Lin was looking down at his own 
. Jared Jaffee was the preflop aggressor, and he made the covering raise with . It was a half-slowroll by Lin as he let out a big sigh and slowly grabbed the last of his chips, taking about ten seconds to make a call that should have taken one. In any event, the call came, and the board ran out 
to hold Lin's aces and double him up to 124,000. Jaffee is down to 62,000 and still jawing at Lin a little bit. He finished with something along the lines of, "You know what? If I keep talking to you, I'm just going to get angry."
On a flop of 
, Chris Klodnicki led out with a bet of 6,700. His lone opponent, Jordan Morgan, raised it up, and Klodnicki raised right back, all in for Morgan's effective stack of about 90,000. Morgan called with 
, and his top pair had him in bad shape. Klodnicki turned up 
for queens up, two cards from the knockout.
The turn further reduced Morgan's outs. Down to one, in fact. He needed to find the case queen to split the pot, but the river 
was a miss. Morgan is thusly out of the tournament, while Klodnicki moves back up to 190,000 with that pot.
We were originally scheduled to play eight levels today regardless of the pace, but that's since changed. In the interests of giving everyone another short night, the staff has decided to call it a night once we hit 27 players remaining. We still have 36 left, so we may end up going the full eight levels anyways, but we have a back-up plan now as well.
Day 3 will begin at noon tomorrow.
Level: 15
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 300
Bryn Kenney was all in for 50,700 preflop with 
, and he found action from David Fox and his .
Kenney found an ace on the 
flop, and Fox was now looking for a jack to make Broadway. The turn and river came and 
, respectively, and Kenney has found his double. He's back to about 105,000 now, while Fox has been set back to 42,000.
Isaac Baron was getting awfully short on chips when he made his stand with 
. It might have gotten through, but Brett Richey woke up with .
The board, please: 
That's not going to get it done for Baron despite turning nine more outs with the spade draw. Richey's tens hold, and the knockout moves him up to about 145,000.
Lawrence Greenberg got his last few big blinds into the middle preflop with . He was behind but drawing live when Eugene Katchalov called with .
Katchalov flopped his ace, though, and the full board ran 
. Greenberg was dead after four cards, and his tournament life has been snuffed out.
Katchalov is up to about 190,000 after that small knockout pot.
