Trouble for Minieri

We pick up the action on the turn in a big pot involving Dario Minieri. The board showed {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {6-Spades}, and the turn brought the {8-Spades}. Dario bet out 12,000, and his lone opponent, Fabrice Le Corre, made the call.

The river came the {9-Hearts}. Minieri studied for a moment before moving all in, having his man covered. Le Corre made the call, and tabled {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} for the seven-card straight. Minieri open-mucked his {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} and sent most of his chips across the table. Despite being one of the early leaders, Minieri is down to 12,000 chips, and has been on a significant downward trend of late.
