Volpe Leads the River

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Paul Volpe, one of the hottest WSOP Player of the Year contenders, is renowned for his mixed games abilities. However, no-limit hold'em certainly isn't Volpe's weak spot.

Volpe was in the big blind, and he check-called on both the flop and turn of the board reading {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} — paying 2,500 and 6,000, respectively. But Volpe didn't check for the third time, as he bet 8,100 on the river. His opponent folded, and Volpe took down the pot without a need to show his hole cards.

Volpe is now approaching the 100,000-chip mark.
