Lodden and Minieri

The two late-coming Team PokerStars Pros have taken their seats and gotten right to work. Walking past Johnny Lodden's table for the first time sees him sitting with more than 40,000 after just an orbit or two of play. Wandering across to the far side of the room, we finally spotted Dario Minieri sitting amidst a crowd of tall people. And he was involved in a hand, to nobody's surprise.

Pieter Jong opened the pot with a raise to 600 from the hijack seat. Next door, Preben Stukkan bumped it up to 1,750, but Minieri wanted to play for more still. On the button, the Italian four-bet it up to 5,150 total. Jong quickly folded when the bet came back around to him, but Stukkan tanked until someone called the clock before reluctantly releasing his cards as well.

Minieri is up to about 37,000.
