Volpe Coolers Taylor to Soar Over 400k
Level 4
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Nearly 200 big blinds filled the pot as small blind Esther Taylor and big blind Paul Volpe approched the river of the 
board. Taylor checked, and Volpe fired a bet worth just under the half of the pot, making it 65,000 to call.
Taylor was agonized. She apologized to the table for taking her time to make the decision, analyzing the previous streets while holding calling chips in her hands. She had around 125,000 left, and a call with a worse hand would wound her stack tremendously.
Taylor, however, couldn't give up her monster, calling.
Volpe rolled over 
, and Taylor briefly opened her 
, proving a hardly avoidable cooler.
Volpe, meanwhile, soared among the top stacks.
