Volpe and Anderson Play a Fun One

Level 6
Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

No-Limit Hold'em

Calvin Anderson opened to 6,000 under the gun before Paul Volpe three-bet to 20,000 in the cutoff. With the action back on Anderson, he four-bet to 47,000, and Volpe called, with both players starting the hand over 90 blinds deep.

On the 852 flop, Anderson led for 32,000 and Volpe called.

The turn was the 6 as Anderson fired again for 54,000, and Volpe called once more after a minute's tank.

On the 6 river, Anderson led for just 14,000. Volpe weighed his options before he tossed in calling chips.

Calvin Anderson had QJ, while Paul Volpe flipped over AK.

Volpe's ace-high was best to drag a huge pot off Anderson.

During the hand, Ben Yu took his seat at the same table after registering.
