A player in early position limped in and Jon Borenstein raised to 4,000 from middle position. Jim Collopy was on his direct left and moved all in for about 35,000.

Action folded to Igor Pinheiro in the small blind, who jammed all in for about 60,000. The limper agonized over his decision and eventually folded, claiming he was letting go of a “big hand,” which he would later say was pocket queens. Borenstein quickly folded.

Pinheiro showed JdJh and was in great shape against Collopy’s 8s8h.

The board ran out Kc6s2d3d7s and Pinheiro’s hand held up to eliminate Collopy and move cross the six-figure chip mark.

Igor Pinheiro – 110,000
Jim Collopy – Eliminated
