Event 4: $1,500 Omaha High-Low
44 of 905 left

http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/chipcounts.asp?grid=1352&tid=15604
I note that Jim Collopy is second in chips in this event, I have an interesting/funny story about him. He was heads-up versus Gus Hansen for the $10K HU bracelet at the WSOP Europe in 2010. It was held at The Empire and I'd been dispatched to cover the quarters/semi and final for the magazine I worked for at the time. Collopy was being railed by Stephen Chidwick, Dan Smith and Andrew Lichtenberger, amongst others and the final was a best of three. Gus was limping every button and the match dragged on until at 4am Collopy levelled it at 1-1. Both players wanted to play the Main Event the next day, so agreed to postpone the deciding rubber for 48 hours.
During that time Collopy put in a decent amount of practice online playing deepstack HU with Chidwick his opponent playing in the style of Hansen. Two days later the match restarts and apropos of nothing Hansen starts 2x or 2.5xing the button!
Isn't that fairly standard? Or is he 2xing the button raises. I have genuinely no idea what is the difference between this and Hansen's normal play.

The team event is a farce. One player played virtually the entire tournament for each of the top three teams, in fact for most of the finalists. Rule-change needed.

I probably didn't explain it very well, sorry. What I was trying to get across is that in matches one and two Hansen limped every button. Collopy then puts in a lot of practice about how to play against this style. Hansen doesn't know this, but out of nowhere in match three Hansen abandons the limping strategy that Collopy has tried to study.

In the tag team event can DN just play the whole day or does he have to switch?
Why does he have the team mates he has,
he could have chosen anyone
, why these 3?
I would have declined the opportunity.
They are all in his fantasy team and they wouldn't have played otherwise. This way whatever points he gets he getsx4 which is sick! He will likely win the leaderboard because of this.

Ah, now that makes sense. Thanks. Hansen probably way better than people give him credit for. Just played too high.
