James Collopy Eliminated in 3rd Place (€67,500)

Kai Cocklin

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

James Collopy opened to 85,000 and Dongwoo Ko three-bet from the big blind to 255,000. Collopy then shoved for around 750,000, and Ko snap-called.

James Collopy: A♦J♥ All in
Dongwoo Ko: 4♥4♠

It was a classic flip for a chunk of chips and Ko maintained his lead after the 9♦6♠5♦ flop. Ko improved to a set on the 4♦ turn but that same card also gave Collopy a flush draw. Unfortunately for Collopy, the 5♠ river was no help, which left him on the sidelines in third.

James Collopy opened 85,000 on the button and Aram Zobian shoved for approximately 175,000 from the big blind. Collopy snap-called and a showdown was held.

Aram Zobian: 4♣4♥ All in
James Collopy: A♠A♣

Zobian had run into rockets, and the A♥4♦8♠7♠Q♦ runout left Zobian second best despite improving to set to be eliminated in fifth place.

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Aram Zobian opened to 90,000 from under the gun and Erik Bauer shoved from the next seat for 795,000. When it got back to Zobian, he snap-called.

Erik Bauer: A♣J♣ All in
Aram Zobian: K♥K♣

It was a great spot for Zobian to take the chip lead and thin down the field but the dealer had other ideas as the 9♣J♥A♠A♥6♣ runout improved Bauer to the nuts, which left Zobian short-stacked.

Slow Action

Dan O'Hair

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Play has been quite slow for the past level, with nearly every pot either being taken down preflop or to a single bet on the flop.

Dongwoo Ko has been faring the best as of late by taking down pots preflop with single raises and uncontested three-bets.

Aram Zobian opened to 70,000 then called the shove of Samuel Ju, who had around 155,000 in his stack.

Samuel Ju: A♠A♦ All in
Aram Zobian: K♠4♠

A clean runout of 2♦2♣8♣K♦9♠ meant Ju's aces held, and he doubled up.
