Ronconi Rebounds
Nivel 23
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
We joined the action on a 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 on the turn. It went check-check there, and the 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 for two pair. It was no good. The 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.
