Collopy Builds Through Mammone
Jim Collopy opened to 20,000 from early position and found three callers to a flop of K♠10♦4♣.
Following checks from the blinds, he continued for 23,000 and only got a call from Antonino Mammone in the hijack.
On the 9♠ turn, Collopy now checked, and Mammone bet 75,000.
Before calling though, Collopy inquired about the size of the pot, thinking that Mammone had pulled his bet back preflop before it went into the pot.
The pot was checked and it was confirmed that Mammone did indeed still owe his 20,000. Mammone tossed in those chips, and then Collopy made the turn call.
The river 7♦ completed the board and Collopy checked a final time. Mammone now placed a bet of 150,000, which sent Collopy into the tank.
After a couple of minutes of thought, he called to see Mammone's A♠10♠ for a pair of tens.
Collopy revealed K♣J♥ for a winning pair of kings to take a sizeable pot before break.
