Volpe Survives on Seventh Street Against Haxton

Level 23b : 120,000/240,000, 0 ante
Paul Volpe and Isaac Haxton
Paul Volpe and Isaac Haxton

Stud Hi-Lo

Haxton: {X-}{X-} / {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Becker: {X-}{X-} / {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} - fold
Volpe: {X-}{X-} / {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

Isaac Haxton was the bring-in, Johannes Becker completed, Paul Volpe called, and Haxton called. Becker checked on fourth street, Volpe bet, Haxton called, and Becker folded.

Haxton paired up on fifth street and checked, Volpe bet, Haxton raised, and the rest of Volpe's stack got into the pot.

Haxton: {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades} / {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Volpe: {3-Clubs}{A-Clubs} / {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

Haxton had a full house for the high, while Volpe needed to catch running cards to beat the full house or a low card to chop.

Volpe caught a non-helpful {9-Clubs} on sixth while Haxton hit an {8-Diamonds}, but Volpe survived with the {6-Diamonds} on seventh street to make seven-six low to survive.
