Volpe Wins All Five

Level 25 : 0/0, 30,000 ante

Hand #154

Lieu limped in, as did Volpe, as both saw the flop come {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Lieu checked, before Volpe threw out a bet of 30,000, which was called. The {4-Diamonds} came on the turn, as both players checked. The {3-Diamonds} completed the board, as Lieu checked again, before Volpe bet out 85,000. Lieu thought for a minute, before releasing his hand into the muck.

Hand #155

Volpe opened to 30,000, and was called, before the flop came down {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Volpe threw out a continuation bet of 30,000, before Lieu bumped it up to 70,000. Volpe quickly called, before the {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Both players checked, as the {7-Diamonds} completed the board. A quick check again from each player saw Volpe table his {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, which was good enough to take it down.

Hand #156

Both players limped into the pot, as the flop came down {5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The action checked to Volpe, who bet out 20,000, which took down the pot.

Hand #157

Volpe limped in, before Lieu raised to 45,000 in chips. Volpe made the call, as both saw the flop come {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. Volpe checked to Lieu, who bet out 80,000, which was called. The {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn, as both players checked to see the {k-Clubs} come on the river. Volpe then tabled his {K-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a full house, as Lieu’s cards flew into the muck.

“Only a full house?” asked a surprised Lieu, shortly after the hand.

Hand #158

Lieu opened for 30,000 and was called, as the flop came down {j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Spades}. Lieu made a continuation bet of 35,000 and was called as the {7-Spades} fell on the turn. Lieu checked over to Volpe, who bet out 45,000, which was called, before the {9-Diamonds} completed the board. Both players checked as Volpe then tabled his {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines, which gave him the pot.
