A Very Tiny Elimination

Dario Minieri - Out
Dario Minieri - Out
Jeremi Stępiński opened the pot with a raise, and Dario Minieri moved all in for 55,900 total. When the action came back to Stępiński, he sat in the tank for a long time, as the call represented nearly his full stack as well. Finally, he shrugged and stuck in the call.

Showdown
Stępiński: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Minieri: {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}

The flop was a clean slate for the diminutive pro as it rolled out {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {K-Spades}. The turn was a bit less clean; the {J-Spades} peeled off the deck, and Italian profanity could be heard from the rail behind the table. The river was a blank {4-Clubs}, knocking Minieri down to 9,400 little chips.

*****

On the next hand, Dario would open-shove from late position, and the player on the button made an isolating re-raise. Minieri tabled {Q-Hearts} {6-Spades}, racing once again. His opponent's {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} would hold on a board showing {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {9-Spades} {A-Spades}, and Minieri is out courtesy of two consecutive losing coinflips.

Minieri stopped by Shaun Deeb's table to pay off his last-longer bet, and the two men agreed that they'd see each other in the High Roller event later this week.
