Opening Moves

Not surprisingly, Dario Minieri is active here in the early going. He just now opened from middle position for 300 and got two callers, players sitting in the cutoff and small blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}

, and a bet of 500 from the small blind pushed Minieri out.

On the next hand, Minieri again raised to 300 and only the cutoff called. The flop came {5-Clubs}

, Minieri continued with a bet of 450, and his opponent folded.

A few hands later -- including a couple in which Minieri took small pots -- he was raising to 300 again, this time from the cutoff, and claimed the blinds. Minieri has chipped up to 33,500.
