Paul Volpe completed and was all-in for 16,000 on third street against Ryutaro Suzuki and Yueqi Zhu. On fourth street, Suzuki bet and Zhu called before Suzuki check-called on fifth street. There was no more betting action after that which was good news for Volpe, who said "I have at least aces up".
Suzuki won the side pot before Brad Owen pointed out "don't you have a royal flush" with the down cards close to each other. Volpe spread his board and indeed had a royal flush, his first in a HORSE tournament according to the table chat. Thanks to the antes in play, Volpe earned a quadruple up very early on.
