Volpe Skyrocketing, Santiago Out

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

After winning a few sizable pots, Paul Volpe is well over 100,000 chips while Andy Santiago is out of the tournament.

According to Santiago he was crippled when he flopped trip sixes on a {6-}{6-}{8-} board. An opponent, possibly Volpe, held {6-}{8-} and won a 170,000-chip pot. Left with only 10 big blinds, Santiago called Volpe's small blind shove with just {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Volpe opened {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

The {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop gave Santiago a commanding lead with two pair, but the turn and river came {8-Diamonds}, {10-Diamonds} respectively, giving Volpe a winning straight.

Santiago's boisterous prediction did not come true today, but there's always next time.
