Nice End to Level for Volpe

In the last hand before the break, Paul Volpe raised from middle position, then the player in the cutoff reraised to 6,100. It folded back to Volpe who made it 19,000 to go, his opponent shoved all in, and Volpe snap-called.

Volpe's opponent showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, but Volpe had the better pair with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. As players filed out of the Amazon room, the community cards came {2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and Volpe's opponent won't be returning from the break. Meanwhile, Volpe cracks a quarter million.
