Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Antonin Teisseire opened the pot to 130,000, and Darryl Ronconi took this as another opportunity to shove all in. It was 805,000 total this time, and Teisseire spent a long while in the tank before he announced the call.

Showdown
Teisseire: {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}
Ronconi: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

Ronconi was the one at risk, but his ace-queen was in the dominating position. Dominating, that is, until the {K-Spades} {6-Spades} {J-Clubs} flop changed everything. The French rail let out the loudest noise we've heard in quite some time as their man had caught his "valet" to take a big lead with two to come.

The turn, though, was the {Q-Diamonds}, and Ronconi burst into his own celebration as he re-took the lead with a pair of queens. The river was the blank {8-Spades}, and Teisseire is going to have to pay out the double. It drops him to 2.375 million, while Ronconi is right back in this thing, back close to average with more than 1.7 million now.
