Minieri's Back in the Game
We caught up with him betting out 1,000 on the river of an
board, only for his opponent to raise to 2,600. Minieri disappeared into the tank."Pocket fives?" he enquired after a while. "Maybe," was the noncommittal response from his opponent. Back into the tank.

His opponent flipped
for the top straight, and Minieri mucked.Nevertheless, Minieri is currently sitting on a more than respectable 35,000.
