Jim Collopy's relentlessly aggressive recent approach was fraught with danger if it went wrong, and it did.

He raised from UTG and Stevan Chew defended his big blind, and called a c-bet on the flop. The turn came and Chew check-called a 8,900 bet to see the river. He checked to the American for a third time and was faced with a bet for all of his 26,000 chips. He blew out a breath of air and called with for second pair. Collopy had already mucked his hand and was left with around 9,000 chips.
