First to act, Benjamin Volpe raised all in for his final 735,000. It folded around to Jonathan Clancy in the small blind who asked for a count. After a couple of moments, he announced he was all in for slightly more. Andrew Rudnik quickly folded his big blind and the hands were turned up.

Volpe: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Clancy: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

This became the battle of the rails. Each player has had about 15 guys or more sweating him at all times today and each group let the entire Amazon Room know they were here. The flop was {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} and the sweat was on. The turn was one of the only cards that didn't increase Volpe's equity when it landed the {4-Hearts}. Still, he could hit a Jack or Queen to double up and cripple Clancy. But the river was the {2-Diamonds} and Volpe's dreams of glory will have to wait for another day.

With that pot, Clancy reaches his high mark for the day with 1.6 million chips. Afterwards, a member of his rail could be heard asking, "How did that hold?!"
