Volpe Makes Correct Call

No-Limit Hold'em

Four players saw a flop of {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts}, including Paul Volpe, John Monnette, Travis Pearson, and Allen Chang. The action checked to Volpe, who bet, Monnette released on the button, Pearson called out of the small blind, and Chang gave it up.

Both players checked after the {j-Spades} turned, and the {q-Clubs} completed the board. Pearson quickly led for 2,100. Volpe briefly tanked.

"Twenty-six?" he asked the dealer.

"Twenty-one," the dealer responded.

Volpe made the call, and Pearson tabled {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a busted straight draw. Volpe showed {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two pair, and raked in the pot.
