Biography Jim Collopy is an American poker player and three-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner. He won his first bracelet at the 2013 WSOP Asia-Pacific, winning Event #2: $1,650 Pot-Limit Omaha for A$69,662. Eight years later, he got his hands on a second bracelet after winning Event #32: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. for $172,823. It always feels cool to win on a big stage, so Id say thats what makes it most different, Collopy said comparing his second bracelet to the first.
