Benjamin Volpe Doubles Back

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Jason Somerville opened to 5,000 from under the gun and action folded to recently crippled Benjamin Volpe.

"Pot!" Volpe loudly proclaimed as moved all in for his last 11,000. Dario Minieri tanked from the next seat over before making a raise to 21,000 and the rest of the table including Somerville folded.

Minieri: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Volpe: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

Volpe found no help on the {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop but the {9-Hearts} on the turn gave him additional outs to win.

"King!" said Volpe.

Ask and you shall receive. The dealer burned the final card and tabled the {K-Diamonds}, putting two pair higher than eights on the board and allowing for Volpe's ace-high to finish as the best hand. He was able to score a double and is now sitting on about 29,000.
