Collopy Trips Up, Recovers Slightly
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Several small hands went by (example: limp, check, check, check, check, min-bet, fold) and they all went to Gus Hansen, meaning that Jim Collopy was below the one million mark when this one took place.
Hansen limped and Collopy checked; nothing exciting there. But on the 
flop Collopy bet out 36,000 before Hansen raised to 83,000. There was a short dwell, and then a call.
The turn was the 
and there was another short dwell-up from Collopy before he checked. Hansen counted out 114,000 and played with the chips for a while (fanning, and re-stacking; fanning, and re-stacking) before betting them. Collopy tanked up for a bit longer this time, and then made the call.
They found themselves looking at a 
river and Collopy very slowly checked. Over to Hansen, who pulled a face and then commenced to tank, placing exactly 12xT1,000 chips over his cards just in case the dealer should go mad and try to take them away.
Eventually he checked behind, and found that he was unable to beat Collopy's 
for trips. Collopy is still just hanging in though - that pot put him back up to just about what he had at the break, 1.2 million to Hansen's 2.6 million.
