Jim Collopy Eliminated in 2nd Place ($171,200)
In the very first hand of heads-up play, Jim Collopy limped in and Dante Goya checked. On the 7?5?2? flop, Goya checked and Collopy bet the pot. Goya check-raised the pot and Collopy mulled it over for a few seconds before he shrugged and piled in his stack of around 1.6 million.
Jim Collopy: 9?8?5?3?
Dante Goya: K?J?7?4?
Collopy's live cards, gutshot and a dominated flush draw was up against the top pair and superior flush draw of Goya. Nothing changed with the Q? turn and the 7? river gave Goya trips sevens to score the knockout.
Collopy missed out on the $100,000 bonus from the WSOP Paradise Parlay promotion by GGPoker and earned $171,200, while online poker specialist Goya earned his first WSOP gold bracelet.
