Volpe and Lehr to Meet Heads-Up for $10K Championship

Two veteran pros and World Series of Poker bracelet winners will face off to decide the 2015 WSOP $10,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship Thursday. 2014 WSOP $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball champion Paul Volpe and 2003 WSOP $3,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em winner Kieth Lehr both advanced to the final heads-up match set for 1 p.m. local time in Las Vegas.

From a field 143, the final 16 returned Wednesday to play down to two. Lehr, who also has two runner-up finishes in WSOP bracelet events on his résumé, defeated Jake Schindler, Valeriu Coca and Dee Tiller to earn his seat in the final. Volpe ran through Barry Hutter, Isidro Sifuentes and Matthew Cooper to get there.

The championship match will begin with both players holding 7,680,000-chip starting stacks and blinds of 30,000/60,000. The winner will take home $334,430 with the runner-up settling for $206,620.
