Jim Collopy Eliminated in 6th Place ($37,200)
Sam Soverel opened to 20,000 from the hijack and Jesse Lonis called in the cutoff before Jim Collopy three-bet to 90,000 with just one chip behind in the small blind. Action folded to Soverel, who assessed the situation as he broke away from telling an inflammatory story.
"And if you [Lonis] call, he [Collopy] can still fold for 1k?" said Soverel. "This is exciting."
Collopy checked on the 9?7?4? flop and Soverel bet 60,000. Lonis called and Collopy also called with his final 1,000.
Soverel checked on the Q? turn and Lonis also checked. Soverel checked again on the 3? river and Lonis bet 118,000. Soverel took a sip of his Pellegrino, a switch from the variety of beers he drank deep into Day 2, before calling.
Lonis showed 8?7? for a flush as Soverel and Collopy were respectively forced to show 10?9? and A?K?. Soverel shook his head and moved on to the next hand as Collopy headed to the payout counter.
