As the field was making their way out of the Amazon Room for their first break of the day, Paul Volpe and Stephen Song were still active in a big hand.

On the turn, the board read {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Volpe, in middle position, had a bet of 52,000 in front of him. Song made it 104,000 on the cutoff and Volpe called after some thought.

The river brought the {J-Clubs} and Volpe opted to lead out for 100,000. Song took around a minute before shoving all in for 226,000 and Volpe went deep in the tank. The camera's swooped in to catch the action and see Volpe eventually call it off after three minutes.

Song tabled {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a boat, Volpe flung his hand face-down in the muck and quickly headed out of the Amazon.
