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

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

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: AJ All in
Dongwoo Ko: 44

It was a classic flip for a chunk of chips and Ko maintained his lead after the 965 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.

Aram Zobian: 44All in

Bauer Cracks Zobian's Kings

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

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: AJ All in
Aram Zobian: KK

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 9JAA6 runout improved Bauer to the nuts, which left Zobian short-stacked.

Slow Action

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.
