Volpe Cracks Three Million

Paul Volpe was recently moved to the gold/blue section, meaning we don't have the easiest access. However, we did see the very end of a hand that saw Volpe bust Sean Rice.

Volpe filled us in on the details. He opened from middle position and Sean Rice three-bet to 52,000 on the button. Action folded back to Volpe who four-bet to 125,000. A call from Rice landed a {K-Clubs}{4-}{2-Clubs} flop. Both checked through to the {10-Clubs} turn where Volpe bet 150,000. A call from Rice delivered a {K-} on the river.

Volpe shoved, putting Rice to a decision for roughly 400,000. After a little bit of time in the tank, Rice called with {A-}{K-} for trip kings. Volpe, though, tabled {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a flush to win the sizable pot and crack the 3,000,000 chip mark.
