Mustafa Stopped, Volpe Vaulting Up Counts

Paul "paulgees81" Volpe continues to add to his stack, with Mike (Musa) Mustafa the latest to give up his chips to the online star.

Volpe related to us the hand that ended Mustafa's WSOP Main Event run. Mustafa had open-pushed his stack of 108,000 from middle position, getting one caller in the cutoff. Volpe then reshoved from the big blind, and after tanking a bit the remaining player folded his {J-}{J-} face up.

Volpe had {Q-}{Q-} and Mustafa {J-}{10-}, and when the board brought no help to Mustafa, he was eliminated. Meanwhile Volpe moves up the leaderboard to grab a spot behind current leader Ben Greenberg.
