After Paul Volpe opened to 1,200 from middle position, fellow pro Joe Kuether came along from the button, as did the big blind.

The dealer fanned the {9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Volpe c-bet for 2,700 after the big blind tapped the table. Kuether flatted the bet and the big blind got out of the way, bringing the {2-Diamonds} to the table on the turn.

Volpe and Kuether checked fourth street down, as they did on the {q-Spades} river.

"Jack-high," announced Volpe, before mucking when Kuether produced {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top pair on the flop. Despite the small dent to his stack, Volpe still holds more chips than nearly everybody in the room.
