Volpe Gets Short
Level 14
No-Limit Hold'em
Paul Volpe raised to 8,000 from under the gun off a short stack and was then three-bet to 20,000 by Marco Johnson on the button. Volpe gave it some consideration and elected to call, then checked the 
flop. Johnson plucked in a tower of T-5,000 chips worth 80,000 and that had Volpe's remaining stack covered.
No call followed as Volpe opted to preserve his short stack.
