James Copeland Eliminated in 13th Place ($6,843)

James Copeland - 13th Place
James Copeland - 13th Place
Another player has exited the Brasilia Room. This time it was James Copeland. Copeland got involved in a three-way pot with Dario Alioto and Ben Ponzio. Each player put in three bets before the first draw. On that draw, Ponzio took one, Copeland took two, and Alioto took one. Alioto, as last to act, led the betting after the draw. The other two players both check-called.

On the second draw, Ponzio and Copeland took one each, while Alioto stood pat. Again betting action checked to Alioto, and again he bet. Ponzio popped him with a check-raise; Copeland called all in for less before Alioto also called.

On the final draw, Ponzio and Copeland were both pat. Alioto, seeing this, elected to break his hand and took one card. He folded to Ponzio's final bet. With the side pot safely pushed to Ponzio, he opened his hand.

"Number Two," he said, showing 7-6-4-3-2. Copeland flicked his cards and threw an 8-6-5-3-2 into the center of the table. He is eliminated in 13th place and collects $6,843.
