Monnette Doubles Through Volpe in Massive Confrontation
Level 13
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 7,500 ante
Paul Volpe raised to 13,500 from middle position and faced a three-bet from Tobias Schwecht on the button to 37,000.
John Monnette four-bet jammed for 101,500 from the small blind to send action back to Volpe who didn't wait too long before five-bet jamming for 183,500.
Schwecht tanked for about three minutes before finally letting it go and sending Volpe and Monnette to a heads up draw.
Monnette stood pat which sent Volpe into a three minute tank of his own while he decided on whether or not he needed to break a made hand to beat Monnette.
Eventually, Volpe did pat behind and Monnette quickly turned up 8♥7♠5♦4♥2♣ which was good against the 9♠8♠5♣4♦3♣ of Volpe.
