Darryl Ronconi opened to 110,000 from the button and it was folded over to Greg Ostrander on the big blind, who re-popped it to 350,000 total. Ronconi tanked hard, shuffling his chips and mowing his decision over for quite some before announcing he was all in.

Ronconi: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Ostrander: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Vas Nunes: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Hortin was in good shape to double up going to the flop, which came {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Hortin was still in good shape, however the {7-Spades} turn gave Vas Nunes a flush draw and Hortin a bit of a sweat as he would need to fade any spade or queen to survive.

The river?

A {Q-Clubs}, pairing Vas Nunes' queen and delivering the knockout blow to Hortin.

Vas Nunes is up to five million.
