Ronconi Doubles Through Nguyen

We caught up with the action on a {3-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{9-Spades} flop. Darryl Ronconi checked to his lone opponent - Peter Nguyen, who fired 53,000 into the middle. Ronconi then check-raised all in for 393,000 and Nguyen tank-called.

Nguyen: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} for aces with a jack kicker.
Ronconi: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for two-pair.

The {5-Hearts} turn and {3-Clubs} river changed nothing and Ronconi doubled through to 830,000. Nguyen slipped to his last 165,000.

Hortin Makes Tough Call to Climb Over 1 Million

On a completed board reading {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}, we found Dylan Hortin in a heads-up pot against Elio Fox. Hortin had a 135,000 bet in front of him and was left with a decision to call, as Fox had raised to 330,000.

Hortin fell deep into the tank, but eventually announced a call.

Fox tabled {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Hortin flipped over {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for tens and sevens and scooped the pot.

Hortin is up to 1,280,000 while Fox has slipped to 420,000.
