: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Darryl Ronconi opened to 75,000, and Mikhail Yakovlev three-bet to 160,000 from the button. Ronconi called, and we'd go forward to the most significant action we've seen in 20 minutes. The 
flop drew a continuation bet of 185,000 from Yakovlev, and Ronconi check-called.
The 
turned, and Ronconi check-called another 250,000. One more time on the 
river, Ronconi check-called 300,000 to see the showdown. Yakovlev tabled 
, and aces up were good enough to win the pot.
That gives Yakovlev the chip lead with 2.1 million, knocking Ronconi down into the middle of the pack for the first time in a while with 1.25 million.
