Volpe Builds Stack
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Tai Nguyen raised and Paul Volpe three-bet, which Nguyen called. On the 
flop, Nguyen checked and Volpe bet to pick up a call. The 
fell on the turn and Nguyen checked before folding to a second bet.
Volpe raised once more to see Daniel Alaei on the button three-bet, Volpe called. The 
flop brought a check-raise by Volpe and Alaei called before folding to a bet of Volpe on the 
turn.
Howell Cheek had folded both times to forfeit the blinds and was left with just 9,000. Right after that, Nguyen joined the rail and the field was reduced to the last 36 hopefuls in order to break a table.
