Bullets for Collopy

Jim Collopy
Jim Collopy

Jim Collopy might have been up until the early hours trying to keep his bracelet hopes alive, but that hasn't stopped him from making an appearance here today in the Main Event.

Judging by his promising start, they might struggle to find time to squeeze in that bracelet battle, Collopy currently on 52,000 after taking down a sumptuous pot up here on the balcony.

When I arrived on the scene, Collopy was leading out from the big blind into a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, only for a player in middle position to move all in for 10,025.

The action halted on the button who dwelt for longer than Rodin's 'The Thinker' before eventually opting to flat call from a stack of 40,000.

Collopy paused momentarily before moving all in himself. The caller gave up the ghost and we had a showdown, Collopy in the lead with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}, but vulnerable against {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

But when you're in form, it feels as though nothing can go wrong for you, and indeed the board ran out dry as the turn and river came {2-Clubs} and {7-Spades} respectively.
