So far, it's been Paul Volpe's summer. Volpe made a huge statement in the first two weeks of the World Series, making two top-three finishes including winning his third bracelet in the $10K Omaha Hi-Lo Championship.

Volpe now returned to the hold'em scene, taking his seat to the left of reigning World Champion Scott Blumstein. Volpe immediately started piling chips.

He recently played a three-way pot, sitting under the gun battling against opponents in the small blind and hijack. Volpe triple-barreled the {3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{2-Spades} board, betting 1,300 on the flop, then 3,800 on the turn, and finally dropping a 11,700-chip shell. The first bet was called by both players while only the small blind stuck around after the turn. However, he gave up on the river and Volpe didn't need to show his hand to rake in the pot.
