Volpe Vaults Up

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

Paul "paulgees81" Volpe has catapulted up the counts to challenge for the chip lead. He's won a couple of nice-sized pots over the last few orbits. The latest came in which a player raised from middle position, got one caller behind, and Volpe called as well from the small blind with {A-Clubs}{8-}{8-}{2-Clubs}. The flop was a nice one for Volpe -- {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} -- the nut flush and a draw to the nut low. Eventually he would get the original raiser to commit all of his chips with {A-}{Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-} for a worse flush and the same low draw, and would manage to scoop when no low came.

Volpe is up around 225,000 now.
