The way I see it, poison doesn't simply effect at the end of the round, but rather siphens health throughout the rounds based on how long the battler has been in play. Volcanst was using an awful lot of time by charging up two hyper beams, so the poison was able to eat just enough health for the swift volley to finish him off.

round eighteen
Chris 2.0 pockets the poké ball belonging to his fainted typhlosion, then ponders for just a moment before tossing another of a similar shade into the aquarium, "Next, I'll use my blastoise!"
The ball slaps on the wet floor below before releasing a very large leviathan (~gogo product placement!); oddly named "Tanqua", the blastoise slams his feet on the floor below in hopes to intimidate his foe, who still swims peacefully in the small aquarium. Meanwhile, Avenger, with a wild smirk, choices his next attacks, "Okay, Triangle Man, first, start out with a Taunt. Then Toxic. Finish it up with a Focus Energy. However, should the blastoise not fall for that Taunt, use Scary Face instead of Toxic."
A tad bit frustrated, Chris 2.0 smirks evilly as he comes up with his own plan, "Tanqua, Roar loudly over the taunts. I doubt you'd be detered by a tiny little pirhanna. Then, fire an Ice Beam down into the tank to freeze the entire contents - pirhanna included. Take two actions if necessary; however, if you manage to freeze the pool quickly, then use Seismic Toss to pick up the ice block and hurl it into the wall."
Triangle Man, looking mighty odd, tries to frolick in the tiny pool in a vague attempt to taunt his foe into directly attacking; however, Tanqua's not buying it, roaring a mighty roar (or as mighty as a turtle can), sending shivers down the pirhanna's fishy spine. Tanqua then awkwardly climbs on top of the small aquarium's railing, promptly shooting a concentrated beam of ice into the water, causing it to solidify. Triangle Man, barely able to move, tries his best to scare Tanqua with a face so creepy, so frightening, that I cannot explain it without the censors being on my ass. Downright disturbed, yet pleased with himself, Tanqua struggles to lift the massive ice cube; using all of his strength, Tanqua manages to hurl it out of the aquarium; unfortunately, despite being lighter than water, ice is still pretty heavy and slams against the floor just a few feet shy of the wall. Still feeling pain as he flops around, the fish out of water then keeps himself focused, concentrating for the next round, perhaps.
