Volpe Rivers a Flush

Level 13 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Paul Volpe raised to 72,000 from early position and received three callers in Mikita Badziakouski, Jason Mercier, and Manig Loeser. The flop came {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and the action checked around to the {8-Spades} on the turn.

Mercier led out for 156,000 from the small blind and Loeser tossed his big blind hand to the muck. Volpe made the call and Badziakouski let the two players fight it out.

The river brought the {5-Spades} and Mercier slowed down with a check. Volpe pushed in a bet of 230,000 and Mercier tanked for a minute before calling. Volpe flipped over {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for the nut flush and Mercier flung his cards to the muck.
