Jim Collopy Eliminated in 2nd Place ($171,200)
In the very first hand of heads-up play, Jim Collopy limped in and Dante Goya checked. On the 7♦5♠2♠ flop, Goya checked and Collopy bet the pot. Goya check-raised the pot and Collopy mulled it over for a few seconds before he shrugged and piled in his stack of around 1.6 million.
Jim Collopy: 9♦8♠5♣3♠
Dante Goya: K♣J♠7♥4♠
Collopy's live cards, gutshot and a dominated flush draw was up against the top pair and superior flush draw of Goya. Nothing changed with the Q♥ turn and the 7♣ river gave Goya trips sevens to score the knockout.
Collopy missed out on the $100,000 bonus from the WSOP Paradise Parlay promotion by GGPoker and earned $171,200, while online poker specialist Goya earned his first WSOP gold bracelet.
