Crucial Double for Collopy
Level 19
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action folded round to Jim Collopy in the small blind, and he moved all in for his remaining 1,300,000 chips. Rafael Mota, in the big blind, confirmed the bet size and then called.
Jim Collopy: K♦9♣ 
Rafael Mota: A♠10♦
The flop had a little bit of something for everyone. Middle pair for Mota and an open-ended straight draw for Collopy on 10♠J♦8♣.
The turn brought Mota trips, with the 10♣ but the river saved Collopy's tournament life, coming the 7♣.
