Collopy Doubles Through Lee

Picking up the action on a {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board with roughly 28,000 in the middle, action was on Jim Collopy who bet about 16,000 in position. Bernard Lee, who we believe checked beforehand, re-raised all in with bigger stack.

Collopy called all in immediately for 39,100 with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and led Lee's {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Collopy secured the double.

Guillen Crippled

Action folded around to Angel Guillen on the button and he made it 2,500 to go. The big blind three-bet all in over the top for 25,200 total and the short-stack big blinded decided to ship in his stack of 6,000 as well.

Action came back to Guillen and he sat pondering for over a minute. He eventually dropped the chips in the middle and the three hands were tabled:

Guillen: {A-Spades}{j-Spades}
Small Blind: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Big Blind: {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The dealer spread out a wonderful flop for Guillen, showing {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs}, giving him top pair and four to the flush. The turn paired the board, bringing the {9-Clubs}.

And then came the river that caused all three players to get there. The {8-Spades}. The big blind made his straight and Guillen made his flush, but it was the player in the small blind benefited most, making his full house on the river.

After that hand Guillen was crippled, his stack now sitting at 5,700.

JayBone in the Field

While we approach the money in today's event, one player still alive in the field is Jack King, also known as JayBone or Mr. Jr. Bacon Lover, a legend in PocketFives OT.

King is currently sitting on a short-stack of about 16,000. For those of you watching along from PocketFives, photos will be along shortly. JayBone seems very confident but still seems to be missing some "sweetness", even though those watching along have yet to find out exactly what that means.

Maridu Mayrinck is keeping a close eye on JayBone and providing us with the latest updates on his status in today's event.

Good Start For Holloway

After Chad Holloway raised in middle position to 3,000, James Kendrick moved all in for roughly 9,000 from late position. Action folded back to Holloway who called after a few moments with {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Kendrick was slightly ahead with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}, but fell behind when the flop came down {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Kendrick found no help from the {6-Spades} turn and {K-Spades} river to exit early on Day 2.
