Shane Daniels raised under the gun, after which the action folded to Jim Collopy in the big blind, who called after some thought.

Collopy check-called bets of Daniels on the J♣7♣3♥ flop and 10♦ turn before the 2♠ river went check-check.

Daniels tabled A♦A♣Q♣10♣ for a pair of aces, but it was no good against the Q♥J♥7♠3♦ of Collopy, who took down the pot with two pair.
