"F***ing great, he gets three quarters," said Bari, but he was mistaken as Dovzhenko actually scooped the entire pot with the nut low and a six-high straight. "Oh, it's a scoop, f***ing awesome," finished Bari as he grabbed his bag and headed to the exit.

Times are tough for Jim Collopy, who's not been having his best day so far. Last night we saw him try to order as many beers as possible before the end of the day and it looks like he's hurting a bit today.
Collopy came into the Amazon Room about 30 minutes late and has been staring at the floor ever since. The reason why is that he's been hunched over at the table with his forehead resting on the rail. The only time we saw him move was to get up and walk over to one of the big trash cans opposite his table. Collopy made sure to pull one of the trash cans close by so he has easy access when he needs it. He's yet to stack his chips or play many hands, but we'll see how he can progress through Day 2.
We hope Collopy feels better soon, as the tournament plans to go on till right around 2:30 AM. It's already going to be a long day, but could be even longer for Collopy.
