Ronconi Gets a Double
Niveau 25
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Darryl Ronconi, who finished second in last year's WSOP Event #17: $1,500 Millionaire Maker for $500,125, is enjoying another deep run in a large field WSOP bracelet event. Action folded to Jongwook Lee on the button who opened. Darryl Ronconi in the small blind responded with a three-bet shove, which Lee, after some consideration, called to put Ronconi at risk.
"We're flipping?" asked Ronconi before the cards had been turned over.
Darryl Ronconi: 
Jongwook Lee: 
The players were not in fact flipping, with Ronconi holding a fairly comfortable lead over his opponent. That lead only strengthened after the 
flop. No help came for Lee on the 
turn or 
river, handing Ronconi a crucial double up while Lee dipped below 1,000,000.
