Volpe's Shove Gets Through

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Three ways to the {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Spades} turn, a star-studded lineup battled for a pot of roughly 15,000 chips.

Jason Wheeler (big blind) and Paul Volpe (button) checked to Romain Lewis on the button, and Lewis bet 3,800. Both American heroes called.

The river saw the {Q-Hearts} hit the felt, and Wheeler checked again. Volpe, however, didn't let the action pass passively through to Lewis. He shoved all in, putting his 14,500 or so at risk.

Lewis seemed to be pained by Volpe's move. He cut down his remaining stack, then decided to folding and keep his 44,500. Wheeler, who had less than Volpe behind, mucked as well.
