Volen Holds With Big Slick to Double Up

Alek Gillies

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action started postflop as the board read K?7?3?. The early position player led out for 3,000 as Adam Volen called to the turn.

A 2? on the turn changed little, as the previous better checked to Volen. Volen bet 10,000 before being raised to 20,000. With little behind in chips, he jammed all in with the opposing player making the call.

Volen flipped over A?K? as his opponent showed A?5? for the nut flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. Fortunately for Volen, the river came the J? allowing him to double his stack.

With this victory, Volen has almost double the starting stack at 73,000.
