Volpe Finds a Double

Level 15

2-7 Triple Draw

Paul Volpe raised all in for his last 28,500 under the gun and Joe Cassidy called him from the big blind. The former player ending up drawing 1-1-Pat while Cassidy drew 2-2-Pat.

"You've got it," Cassidy said when Volpe stood pat behind. "Jack."

Volpe then tabled the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Cassidy showed the {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and asked the dealer to rabbit hunt to see if he would have got either a seven or eight had he drawn. The dealer informed him that rabbit hunting was not allowed and wasn't going to oblige. At that point Volpe sneakily grabbed the card in question and revealed a {7-}!

Had Cassidy drew one, Volpe would have been eliminated.
