When You're Hot, You're Hot
We came into a hand where our overnight chip leader Paul Volpe was putting some big money into the pot.
An under-the-gun player raised it up to 2,400 preflop and was re-raised by Paul Volpe in the small blind up to 7,300. The player called and the two saw the 
flop. Volpe led out with a bet of 9,200 and his opponent tanked for nearly five minutes before finally calling. The turn came 
and and Volpe pushed all in which put his opponent all in for his last 20,000 or so. The player instantly called and showed 
for the flopped set. Volpe was behind with 
, but the river was what he was looking for as the dealer peeled off the 
to give Volpe a better set and the win.
Volpe told us he lost a set over set hand earlier in the level to drop him to 100,000 or so, but now he is back up to around 140,000.
