Austin Doubles Through Volpe on Last Hand of Night

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Miles Austin opened for a raise from under the gun, the action folded to Paul Volpe who three-bet in the big blind, and Austin moved all in for 40,000 even. Volpe snap-called.

Austin: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Volpe: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The two-time Pro Bowler was in rough shape, but the {7-Spades}{10-Spades}{a-Spades} flop gave him aces up. It also gave Volpe a flush draw, however, and any spade on the turn or river would eliminate Austin.

Fortunately for him both the {9-Diamonds} and the {5-Diamonds} were bricks, and Austin doubled through. Volpe fell to 215,000 chips, and may still be the chip leader.
