Volpe Doubles Through Polge

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

The flop read {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and there was around 21,000 in the middle already. Paul Volpe had checked his small blind and Julien Polge bet 5,500 on the button. Volpe considered all his options for a while and decided to raise to 20,000 leaving himself behind with 1,900. Polge looked at the bet and raised to put Volpe all-in and Volpe snap-called.

Paul Volpe: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Julien Polge: {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Volpe had flopped top pair and also had a flush draw to stay alive against Polge's middle pair.

The rest of the board was completed with the {k-Clubs} on the turn and the {7-Clubs} on the river to not impose any danger to Volpe's double-up.
