Minieri is the Bubble Boy

Minieri gone on the bubble

From under the gun, Dario Minieri moved all in for about 70,000. Alex Brenes tanked for some time when action got to him. Brenes even stood from his chair and began pacing.

"You're going to fold," said Minieri. "You always fold when you do this."

Brenes held up two fingers close together to show Minieri that he was very close to calling this time.

"I bet you fold, how much do I have?" asked Minieri, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a $5 bill and some $1 bills, totaling $10. "I bet you five dollars, no wait... ten! I bet ten."

Then, Brenes called and everyone else folded. William Reynolds folded {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} out of the big blind face up before Minieri tabled {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. Brenes held {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}.

The flop hit both players when it came {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. But, it was Brenes that stayed in the lead, picking up a set of nines.

The turn card was the {3-Hearts} and ended things with the {J-Diamonds} completing the board on the river.

Minieri was eliminated on the bubble after coming into the day as the chip leader. Brenes moved up to 220,000 chips. Everyone left is now earning themselves $41,160.
