Hata Doubles Through Volpe

Level 14 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Brian Rast raised to 80,000 from under the gun and Jason Mercier called in the next position. Paul Volpe three-bet to 275,000 from the button and Aymon Hata moved all in from the big blind for 610,000. Rast and Mercier folded and Volpe made the call.

Aymon Hata: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Paul Volpe: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It wasn't looking good for Hata, with Volpe having him dominated. However that all change as he flopped the nut flush on an {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} runout to double up.
