Collopy Gets a Strong Start
Sep 29, '10
 Jim Collopy Jim Collopy recently finished runner up to Gus Hansen in the high roller heads-up tournament at the WSOP Europe a little ways across London from where we are currently at in the Metropole on the West End. Collopy could find himself making another deep run here at PokerStars EPT London if he continues his early momentum.
He overpowered Allen Cunningham in an early hand to pick up a couple thousand and then he got involved in a pot with India Storrar. The board read A 7 3 K when Collopy checked from the small blind and Storrar bet 1,500 from the button. Collopy made the call, the river fell J, and Collopy checked. Storrar bet 2,500 and Collopy made the call. He turned over A 9 and Storrar mucked.

Big Hands:
Cunningham Doubles Up
Allen Cunningham raised to 1,500 preflop and three players made the call. The flop fell A K 6 and Eugene Katchalov checked. Cunningham bet 2,500 and the player right behind him made the call. The fourth player in the pot and Katchalov mucked, leaving two players in contention.
The turn fell 3 and Cunningham bet 7,000. His opponent went into the tank and he eventually raised all in for 27,000. Cunningham had 28,000 behind at that point and he decided to make the call for what was effectively his tournament life. Their cards:
Cunningham: A Q
Opponent: J J
River: 7
Cunningham won the hand to eliminate his opponent and almost double up. He held 6,700 after the hand.
Matt Waxman and the Four Kings
Matt Waxman bet 9,500 and Filippo Candio made the call. The flop fell K K 7 and both players checked. The 3 fell on the turn and both players checked again. The K fell on the river, Candio checked, and Waxman opened the action for 22,900. Candio made the call but he mucked his cards when Waxman turned over A K for quads.
Blanco Blanks Out
Cristiano Blanco makes it 1,300 from under the gun and the player on the button makes the call. The small blind pops it to 4,600 and Blanco moves all in for 17,125. The button folds but he gets a caller in the remaining player and the two flip over their cards. It’s K K versus Blanco’s A Q and with a king as one of the first cards down it’s all over for the Italian pro – K-4-2-2-9.
Juanda Versus Lefrancois
John Juanda bets 1,350 from the hijack position and once again finds himself in a battle against Pascal Lefrancois in the cut-of. The flop is K 8 7 and both players check. The turn is the Q and Juanda bets 2,050. Lefrancois calls and they see the 6 river. Juanda bets 4,850 and Lefrancois once again makes the call. Juanda shows K 6 for two pair and Lefrancois mucks his cards. Juanda is now on 42,500 while Lefrancois drops a little to 81,200.

The £10,350 heads-up high roller event has reached the final match between Gus Hansen and Jim Collopy from an initial field of 103. The winner will take home the top prize worth £288,409 and the runner-up will take home £178,211 and some deflated hopes.
First Match: The first round saw Hansen take control but Collopy held on to battle for quite some time before succumbing to a first-game loss. On the final hand he shoved on the button preflop and Hansen made the call. Their cards:
Hansen: 9 9
Collopy: Q 8
Board: J 10 8 7 7
Hansen took a 1-0 lead after the hand and then the two charged forward to game 2. This match delivered some déjà vu with Hansen chipping away at the start and Collopy now finds himself in a hole once again.

Tilly in The Tank
Chris Moorman bets 1,600 from the cut-off and Hoyt Corkins raises it to 4,300 from the small blind. Jennifer Tilly pops it to 15,000 and Moorman folds. Corkins thinks for a few moments and elects to call. The flop comes 7s 7d 6d and Corkins checks. Tilly bets 25,000 and Corkins makes it 50,000. Tilly stands to see what he has left. He has roughly 60,000 in chips behind, while Tilly has a little under 70,000. Tilly goes into the tank for six minutes, repeatedly standing up to see all the chips and sitting back down, trying to make her decision. Eventually she mucks and says, “Show the bluff. I had to go all in or fold.â€
Shortly after this Tilly took a hit from Jim Collopy. It wasn’t as damaging but after starting the day in the top 20, she now has 55,000 in front of her. Collopy has 50,000. But the clear chip leader of that table is Corkins who has 169,000 going into the first break of the day.
Brynn Kenney Almost Triples Up
Bryn Kenney moved all in for 18,575 on a A A 6 5 board after one player bet 10,000 and Faraz Jaka had made the call ahead of him. The original player to act mucked and Jaka made the call. Kenney flipped over A K, which held to win the hand and grow his stack to 75,000.
Roland de Wolfe Getting Low
Ludovic Lacay moved all in 16,300 with flop of 7 3 3 sitting on the table and Roland de Wolfe went into the tank for five minutes before he made the call. Their cards:
De Wolfe: K 7
Lacay: J J
Turn and River: 4 and A
Lacay doubled up to 50,000 after the hand while De Wolfe held 26,000.

Big Hands:
Cunningham Doubles Up
Allen Cunningham raised to 1,500 preflop and three players made the call. The flop fell A K 6 and Eugene Katchalov checked. Cunningham bet 2,500 and the player right behind him made the call. The fourth player in the pot and Katchalov mucked, leaving two players in contention.
The turn fell 3 and Cunningham bet 7,000. His opponent went into the tank and he eventually raised all in for 27,000. Cunningham had 28,000 behind at that point and he decided to make the call for what was effectively his tournament life. Their cards:
Cunningham: A Q
Opponent: J J
River: 7
Cunningham won the hand to eliminate his opponent and almost double up. He held 6,700 after the hand.
Matt Waxman and the Four Kings
Matt Waxman bet 9,500 and Filippo Candio made the call. The flop fell K K 7 and both players checked. The 3 fell on the turn and both players checked again. The K fell on the river, Candio checked, and Waxman opened the action for 22,900. Candio made the call but he mucked his cards when Waxman turned over A K for quads.
Blanco Blanks Out
Cristiano Blanco makes it 1,300 from under the gun and the player on the button makes the call. The small blind pops it to 4,600 and Blanco moves all in for 17,125. The button folds but he gets a caller in the remaining player and the two flip over their cards. It’s K K versus Blanco’s A Q and with a king as one of the first cards down it’s all over for the Italian pro – K-4-2-2-9.
Juanda Versus Lefrancois
John Juanda bets 1,350 from the hijack position and once again finds himself in a battle against Pascal Lefrancois in the cut-of. The flop is K 8 7 and both players check. The turn is the Q and Juanda bets 2,050. Lefrancois calls and they see the 6 river. Juanda bets 4,850 and Lefrancois once again makes the call. Juanda shows K 6 for two pair and Lefrancois mucks his cards. Juanda is now on 42,500 while Lefrancois drops a little to 81,200.
