Volpe Hits The Rail

Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

Paul Volpe was our big overnight chip leader coming into the combined Day 2 with 124,500, but after some big lost pots early on in the day he has been grinding a short to medium stack for the last five or six hours. He hung around for quite a while, but has now hit the rail.

A player in middle position raised it up to 12,500 and Volpe moved all in from the cutoff for 114,500. The middle position player made the call and showed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} vs. the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} of Volpe. The board ran out {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Volpe's hand didn't get it done. This marks his fifth cash of the series, but the online superstar has fallen short of the final table every time. That being said, he will certainly be a name to watch come Main Event time.
