Paul Volpe opened to 25,000 in cutoff and Shariq Khan reraised him to 90,000 from the button. Volpe called to see a flop.
The dealer fanned out A♠Q♣5♣. After action was passed to him, Khan bet 250,000 leaving behind 10,000 chips. Volpe confirmed if it was an all-in before jamming around 400,000 chips. Khan pushed his remaining chips and headed to showdown.
Shariq Khan: A♥A♦3♠9♥
Paul Volpe: K♣Q♥Q♠9♣
Khan had the set of aces and was looking at a potential double-up but Volpe had a chance to improve with a flush. The K♠ turn fell and the river 4♣ completed Volpe's flush sending Khan to hit the rails.
