Yu Outta Here
No-Limit Hold'em
Dario Minieri may have just lost a pot to Steve Sung, but he picked up some ground when he was able to eliminate Ben Yu.
Minieri:
Yu:
All the chips were in the middle preflop, and if the situation looks familiar, it's because Minieri had the same hand when he eliminated Jeremiah Degreef, who had the same hand as Yu (suits not included).
Minieri didn't have as much as a sweat this time around. The board ran out and Minieri collected the chips as Yu collected his belongings.
