Big Pot Puts Volkmann Among Leaders
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
We picked up the action with approximately 110,000 already in the pot and a board reading 
. Christian Nolte checked from the small blind, and Bruno Volkmann bet 71,000 from the button. Nolte made the call and then checked when the 
completed the board on the river.
Volkmann paused for a few beats before announcing that he was all in, and Nolte snap-called off for right around 220,000.
Nolte: 
Volkmann: 
It was a bit of a cooler for Nolte, who flopped top two only to run it into top set. A disappointed Nolte made his way to the payout desk, while Volkmann stacked the chips and crept up on a million.
