Volpe Hits the Rail

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Paul Volpe just busted and we caught most of the action. Preflop, Volpe was involved in some betting action with one other player, and both were headed to the flop.

On the {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, the other player bet out 1,000. Volpe raised all in from the button for 2,600 total and the other player quickly called.

Volpe: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Player: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

Volpe was ahead, but he needed to fade a club to stay alive. The {K-Clubs} on the turn dashed his chances and left him drawing dead though. The meaningless {K-Spades} fell on the river and Volpe was sent packing.
