We came upon the table to see Paul Volpe and an unknown opponent in a hand with a board fit for kings- three of them to be exact. The board read and Volpe's opponent was pondering an all in bet from Volpe.
Volpe had moved his last 22,875 into the middle where roughly 28,000 already sat. His opponent tanked for nearly five minutes before finally releasing his cards and awarding Volpe the pot. Volpe is now sporting roughly 51,000 in tournament chips.

An early positioned player opened with a raise to 425. Action folded around to Chad Brown in the cutoff.
"How much is it?" asked Brown before moving out a three-bet to 1,000.
Joe Cada then looked at his cards from the button and quietly dropped down a four-bet to 2,700. The original raiser folded and Brown decided to see a flop.
The dealer tapped the table and spread out . Brown checked and Cada continued out with 3,300. Brown stuck around and both players checked when the hit the turn. The river was the and Brown bet out 3,500. Cada quickly called and Brown flipped up for merely ace-high.
Cada showed and his pocket rockets were good to take down the pot. Every time we've come up on Cada today we find him trending upward and this hand was no different. He's currently sitting on about 58,000.
