Haxton Departs as Collopy Hero Calls in Gigantic Pot

Frank Visser

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action was picked up on a turn of K♠6♣7♦Q♠, where Isaac Haxton checked from the big blind to Jim Collopy in the cutoff. Collopy then made a pot-sized bet of 1,280,000 chips.

Haxton went into the tank before raising all in for 3,245,000 chips, worth roughly doubly the average stack.

Collopy took some thinking time of his own before making the call to put Haxton at risk.

Isaac Haxton: A♠10♠9♥7♥ All in
Jim Collopy: Q♥7♣3♣3♠

Haxton had a double gutshot and a flush draw, but the 6♦ failed to bring in either. Collopy won the massive pot with his middling two pair, queens and sevens, and sent Haxton to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dylan Smith raised to 200,000 on the stone bubble from the hijack and left himself just 90,000 behind. Jason Mercier in the small blind went into the tank and then asked big blind Jonathan Azoulay for his stack size before he folded.

Azoulay reluctantly called and bet the 90,000 on the K♦10♣5♠ flop, Smith called all-in.

Dylan Smith: A♥K♣J♥7♥ All in
Jonathan Azoulay: 10♦7♦7♠2♠

The 3♠ turn and 6♠ river brought running spades for a flush and let the bubble burst.

"I waited for two hours to show down this hand," Azoulay said with a smirk after he had raked in the pot.

Jim Collopy: 8♠8♣5♠4♠

The duo headed to the Q♣6♦6♥ flop on which Chase continued for 200,000. Suvarna eyeballed the stack of his table neighbour and raised the pot, Steely folded and exposed the 5♥.

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Chase Steely raised the pot to 240,000 first to act and Jim Collopy repotted. It folded back to Steely, who moved all in and Collopy called instantly.

Chase Steely: A♠A♦7♥3♥ All in
Jim Collopy: K♠K♦2♥2♠

"The deuce is gonna hit," Gabriel Andrade predicted and was spot on with the 10♣10♠2♦ flop. Steely needed an ace or ten to survive but neither came on the 7♠ turn and 9♥ river.
