Volpe Drops a Few, Still Healthy

Paul Volpe

Paul Volpe opened with a raise to 2,400 from early position and saw two opponents call him, one from middle position and the other from the cutoff.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Volpe led for 3,300, the middle position player called, and the cutoff folded. Both of the remaining players then checked the {4-Diamonds} turn.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and a check from Volpe. His opponent fired 6,000, and Volpe called. His opponent then tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for aces and fours, and Volpe mucked.

Volpe still has a healthy 200,000-plus chip stack, though, as he has for much of the late afternoon and evening.
