Ronconi Rebounds

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We joined the action on a {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} flop as Arnaud Esquevin was betting 76,000 into a pot of over 100,000. Darryl Ronconi called on the button, and Pierre Neuville check-raised to 176,000 total. That folded Esquevin, but Ronconi flatted to see the {Q-Spades} on the turn. It went check-check there, and the {A-Diamonds} filled out the board on the river. Neuville took his cue to fire again, sliding out 100,000 straight. Ronconi quickly called, and Neuville tabled {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} for two pair. It was no good. The {4-Diamonds} {5-Spades} of Ronconi had made a wheel, and that pot pushes him back into the top spot with 1.55 million.

Neuville is now in short-stacked territory with about 280,000 chips left.
