We Have a New Leader

Jim Collopy raised to 9,300 to open the pot from late position, and Michael Fong called from the button. In the small blind, Frank Rusnak three-bet to 34,000 straight. When the big blind folded, Collopy moved all in for 148,000 total, enough to get Fong out of there and send the decision back to Rusnak. He thought it over carefully before making the call, and Collopy was at risk of elimination. And in trouble:

Collopy: {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Rusnak: {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

With more than 300,000 chips up for grabs, the dealer ran out a board that did nothing for "Mr_BigQueso": {8-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

A frustrated Collopy picked a bad spot to move in, and he's been relieved of the rest of his chips. On the flip side of things, Rusnak is now your chip leader, sitting pretty with 360,000 chips.
