Minieri Outkicked

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

30,000 might sound like an almost overly generous starting stack, but the blinds are 50/100 and the players here aren't shy about getting some chips in the middle right from the start. Less shy than most is hotly-supported Italian Dario Minieri, who is here in characteristic sunglasses and scarf, despite the summery conditions.

Just now he was involved in a hand (this happens a lot), threeway, with a flop of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

. The big blind checked, there was a bet of 1,000 called by Minieri and one other in-position opponent. The turn brought the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

and three checks. The river {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

saw it checked to the in-position player, who bet 2,000. Minieri called, but was shown {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

and mucked his hand, flipping the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

for all to see.
