The {9-Hearts} came on the turn, and Hinkle fired out 47,000. Volpe called again, and the river brought the {6-Hearts}. Hinkle bet a third time, this one for 75,000, and Volpe folded his hand, giving Hinkle a nice bounce bat pot.

Hand #85- It was another family pot on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, and Louis Bonnecaze fired out 22,000. Paul Lieu made the call, and the {2-Diamonds} hit the turn.

Hand #86- Volpe made it 20,000 to go, and Bonnecaze called. The flop came {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and Volpe fired out 26,000. Bonnecaze called, and the turn was the {3-Spades}. Volpe checked to Bonnecaze, who fired out 60,000. Volpe called, and the river was the {2-Diamonds}. Both players quickly checked, and Volpe showed {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for top pair. Bonnecaze showed {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for a better kicker, and he won the pot.

Hand #87- Hinkle made it 20,000 to go, and Bonnecaze called. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and Hinkle fired out 14,000. Bonnecaze called, and the {k-Clubs} came on the turn. Both players checked, and the {j-Spades} came on the river. Both knuckled again, and Bonnecaze's {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} took down the pot.
