Volpe Fades the Straight and Flush

Level 7

No Limit Hold'em

Paul Volpe just took down another pot and is rapidly climbing the counts. We didn't catch all the action but we do know that on a {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board a player in middle position checked and Volpe bet, though we're not sure of how much. What we do know is the middle-position player check-raised all in for 8,375 more and Volpe called.

Volpe: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Volpe was ahead with his pair of aces, but his opponent had both straight and flush draws. Much to Volpe's good fortune, the river blanked and he was able to chip up to 36,000.
