Under the gun, Adam Geyer raised to 200,000, and Darryl Ronconi defended his big blind to go heads-up.
The flop brought 
, and Ronconi knocked the table. When Geyer bet 275,000, though, he snuck in a check-raise to 700,000 straight.
Geyer only took about thirty seconds to call. That led them to the 
turn, and Ronconi took a short pause before announcing a hoarse, "Ch-eck." Geyer took his cue, stacking out another 775,000 and sliding it into the middle. After another short pause, Ronconi announced that he was all in, verbally committing all 2.2 million of his chips to the pot. Geyer quickly called, and we've got the biggest pot of the tournament up for grabs!
Showdown
Ronconi: 
Geyer: 
Geyer had flopped a set, but Ronconi had turned the nuts, a queen-high straight. Geyer needed the board to pair now, looking a little glum. The river was a blank, though, the 
, and it's Ronconi spiking the monster double. He's all the way up to 6.29 million now, in command of more than half the chips in play. It took about three minutes to count down the stacks and pay off the double, Geyer looking pained the whole time. Ronconi had that "not-me" look, and the only thing he said was, "I was trying to bluff him off. And I hit the Christmas card."
Geyer is left with just 435,000 now.
