Dario Minieri - 3rd Place

Joao Barbosa made a button raise to 44,000, Dario Minieri moved all in from the small blind for about 180,000 and Barbosa called.

Minieri: {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

Barbosa:

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

As the crowd surged around the table to watch the showdown, the flop came {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

. Only a seven could save Dario. The turn, though was the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

, the river was the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

and a rather unhappy-looking Dario headed to the rail in third place. €123,162 should ease the blow a tad, but Minieri was clearly hoping for a win here.
