Danny Tang limped the button and Jim Collopy checked from the big blind, then check-folded the A♥Q♦3♠ flop to a bet worth 650,000.

Daniel Perkusic raised the next button to 1,000,000 and Tang came along from the big blind. On a flop of J♦10♣7♥, Tang check-called for 700,000 before they checked the A♠ turn and 4♦ river.

"Two pair?!" Tang said in table chat and Perkusic rolled over the A♣A♦J♠6♦ for a set of aces.

"Too much of the board," the German said before stacking up the chips.

Danny Tang limped in on the button, Daniel Perkusic completed his small blind and Jim Collopy, who had lost the majority of pots prior to this hand, checked in the big blind.

Persukic then checked on the 7♦9♥J♥ flop, after which Perkusic bet the pot of 2,000,000, the majority of his stack.

Both Tang and Persukic quickly folded, giving some much-needed chips to Collopy.

Daniel Perkusic limped the button and Jim Collopy did so from the small blind. Danny Tang raised the pot and Collopy called the 1,500,000 total. The J♣6♥3♠ flop saw Collopy check and then fold to a bet worth 1,225,000 by Tang.

Collopy then potted the button to win the blinds, flashing the A♣K♣K♥.

One hand later, Collopy was in the big blind with a stack of around 6,300,000 behind. Perkusic raised the pot out of the small blind and Collopy repotted. "All in, all in," he quickly said once Perkusic piled it in and they flipped them over.

Jim Collopy: K♣K♦3♥3♠ All in
Daniel Perkusic: A♣A♠10♦3♣

"How do we get kings versus aces, and you even have a three as well," a frustrated Collopy said.

There was no escape for him on the J♦6♠6♣Q♠4♥ runout and Collopy exited in third place for $973,882. Both remaining players now take a quick break prior to the heads-up duel.
