Teisseire Rives the Winner

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Antonin Teisseire opened to 250,000 from the button, and Darryl Ronconi came right along.

The flop brought a raggy {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {5-Spades}, and both men checked through to the {J-Clubs} turn. Ronconi checked again, and Teisseire took his cue to bet 300,000 at the pot. Ronconi called.

The river came the {Q-Spades}, and Ronconi checked one last time. Teissiere bet 1 million straight, and the call came quickly, as is typical for Ronconi. He was not going to win this pot.

Teisseire tabled {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} for top pair on the river, and that was the best hand. With it comes a significant chip lead, Teisseire stacking up about 8.65 million chips now. "Tonin! Tonin!" his friends chant.
