Minieri Getting Bigger; Achieves Idol Status

[user46392]

The Minieri stack has become a mega-stack.

With the flop reading {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

, Alain Roy checked to Minieri, who bet 2,700. Roy now raised it up to 7,000, and was met by an expressionless call from Minieri.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

and this time Roy bet out an enormous 9,525. Wordlessly, Minieri called that too.

Both players checked the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

river and they proceeded to showdown. Roy attempted to turn over just the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

, but in response to a stony, "Both cards," from Minieri revealed also the lacklustre {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. Minieri flipped over {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

to take the pot, and his stack increases to almost 90,000.

Minieri's table neighbor turns to him. "Can I have your autograph? You are my idol."
