Ronconi Spikes River, Eliminates Rieger
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Neil Rieger shoved all in for around 400,000 under the gun, and Darryl Ronconi in the big blind called, taking them to showdown.
Neil Rieger: A♣J♥
Darryl Ronconi: A♦4♠
Dominating Ronconi's hand, Rieger was looking at a potential double-up on the K♦8♦K♥ flop. The dealer peeled the K♠ turn, keeping Rieger hopeful.
But the river brought the 4♦, dashing all his hopes, pairing Ronconi's four for a full house.
