Volpe Moving Up

The flop read {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Benjamin Volpe bet out 6,400. His opponent on the button made the call. We don't know exactly how the action went preflop, but

The {q-Hearts} on the turn saw both players check their option. The {9-Hearts} on the river saw a bet of 16,700. The button then made the call and Volpe exposed {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for the ace high flush. The button mucked and Volpe moved into one of the top stacks in the room.
