Hand #144

Paul Lieu raised to 35,000, before Ben Volpe raised it up to 105,000. Lieu thought for a minute, before releasing his hand.

Hand #145

Paul Lieu opened for 35,000, and was called by Ben Volpe, as both saw the flop come down {j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}. Both players checked, as the {k-Clubs} fell on the turn. Lieu checked over to Volpe, who threw out a bet of 40,000, which brought a fold from Lieu a minute later.

Hand #146

Ben Volpe opened to 35,000, as both his opponents made the call. The flop came down {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, as Volpe threw out a continuation bet of 55,000, which was only called by Lieu. The {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn, as Volpe checked his option, before facing a bet of 120,000 from Lieu almost instantly after his check. He made the call, as the {j-Hearts} completed the board.

Volpe checked once more, as Lieu thought about his decision, before checking also. Volpe tabled his {k-Spades}{q-Spades}, for top two-pair, which saw Lieu’s hand go into the muck.

Hand #147

Ben Volpe raised from the button, as the two other players got out of the way.

Hand #148

All three players limped into the pot, as the flop came down {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. The action checked around to Louis Bonnecaze, who bet out 55,000, before Ben Volpe announced all in over the top. A quick call from Bonnecaze, saw both players table their cards

Volpe: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Bonnecaze: {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Volpe had flopped top pair, and was in great shape to take out Bonnecaze. Needing a three or six to stay alive, Bonnecaze would miss out, as the board ran out the {j-Spades} and {j-Hearts} to see him finish in third place.
