Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Paul Volpe is anchoring a tough table that also contains Michael Mizrachi, David "Bakes" Baker, and Cary Katz. Volpe is picking his spots well, and we just watched him tangle up with a player without a notable name, as far as we're aware.

Mr. Unknown completed with his {7-Diamonds} showing, and Volpe raised with the {K-Hearts}. Off they went:

Unknown: (x-x) / {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} / (x)
Volpe: (x-x) / {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts} / (x)

Volpe gave up the betting lead on fourth, instead checking and calling all the way to seventh. On the end, though, he snuck in a check-raise and got his opponent to put a second bet into the pot. "Kings full," Volpe announced.

Volpe: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {4-Hearts} / {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

"Very nice hand, sir," the opponent acknowledged as he mucked. With that pot, Volpe pushes up close to double his starting stack. We count him at about 8,600 now.
