Roch Finds Aces, Minieri Finds His Inner Rock

Very nearly three-way all-in craziness on Table Minieri, prevented only by an excellent laydown from Dario Minieri and his plunging neckline.

Preflop, Minieri reraised to 2,000, only for an opponent to move all in from seat 10, and then for Philipp Roch in seat 1 to go all in as well. After some long consideration, during which the inevitable Wall Of Media formed around the table, Minieri passed pocket kings face up. "Good fold," said Roch, "Very good fold," and flipped over {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}. The gent in seat 10 was holding pocket queens, and the aces held up all the way down the {4-?} {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {10-?} board to eliminate the player in seat 10 and give Roch an early double up.
