Happy Dario
Max Heinzelmann in the hijack raised, only for Dario Minieri to reraise to 2,275 in the cutoff. A third gentleman now four-bet to 5,200. Interesting. Back to Heinzelmann, who five-bet to 12,500. "How much do you have behind?" asked Minieri ominously. Answer: 23,000. Minieri announced raise and pushed his whole stack across the line. The third player got out of the way, but Heinzelmann made the call.

Minieri:
Board: bang!
It seems that someone else had folded a king, making that a one-outer that Mr. Minieri smacked. Heinzelmann had to endure an agonizing pause while the dealer established whether or not he was busto; he was, and walked off sighing.
Minieri is up to a most likely chip-leading 70,000.
