Volpe Vaults Into the Lead After Calling Down Obst
Level 16
Paul Volpe: XxXx/3♣2♥4♦9♦/Xx
James Obst: XxXx/7♥9♥8♣9♣/Xx
Kane Kalas: XxXx/J♣ - folded on third street
James Obst completed before Kane Kalas raised. Paul Volpe reraised, James Obst put in another raise, and Kalas folded.
Volpe called as Obst continued betting through to seventh street. Volpe called each bet and Obst bet in the dark heading to seventh.
Volpe again called and Obst showed A♣8♥6♥ for nines and eights. Volpe, though, had K♦K♣3♠ for kings and threes to win the big pot and take over the tournament chip lead.
