Volpe Enters and Chips Up Immediately

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Just after taking his seat, Paul Volpe tangled in a pot with Bryce Yockey.

Picking up the action after the turn of an {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board with roughly 17,000 in the pot, Yockey bet 6,000 from the small blind, and Volpe called from under the gun.

The river was the {5-Clubs}, and Yockey bet 25,000. Volpe mulled it over for a bit and called but told Yockey, "I should raise."

Yockey showed {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}, but Volpe had it beat with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for a set of queens to win the pot.
