Cheese Mountain Melting
The jovial Jim "Mr_BigQueso" Collopy seems to have peaked. After building his stack up to a chip-leading 130,000, he's now dropped back to a still big-stacked but rather more modest 95,000.
Just now we saw him take down a rather nice pot without any of the hassle of a showdown. One player limped under the gun and to his immediate left Collopy raised to 1,175. Player 2 in mid position made the call, but Player 3 in the cutoff made it 4,100 to go. Player 1 ducked out of their way, and Collopy four-bet to 10,575. Both his remaining opponents folded, and Collopy took the pot.
Next hand, and we found Collopy betting out 2,800 on the turn of the board. His opponent called to see the river - but folded when Collopy bet out a huge stack of orange T5,000 chips, enough to put his opponent all in. Collopy showed him the for his troubles, and was up to 130,000.
Nevertheless, just a little while later we strolled by his table to discover that he had somehow dropped around 35,000 from his stack.
