Ivens Doubles Through Volpe
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Paul Volpe raised to 80,000 from under the gun and Todd Ivens called from the big blind.
Ivens checked it over to Volpe on the 7♦10♥Q♠ flop and Volpe bet 75,000. Ivens check-raised all in for 370,000 and Volpe made the call.
Todd Ivens: K♦10♠
Paul Volpe: 10♣8♣
Both players had middle pair, but Ivens' king-kicker had him out in front.
The 5♠ turn and 7♠ river were safe for Ivens, and he doubled to nearly a million chips.
