Dario Fighting Back

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Dario Minieri's day has been a rollercoaster ride. He got off to a fast start and then lost a monster pot to Dan Heimiller. Since then, Minieri has rebuilt his stack. In a recent hand, he raised to 1,325 from early position and action folded all the way to the player in the big blind.

"Can't give it to you every time, buddy," the big blind said as he splashed in a call. When the flop came down {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, the big blind checked and Minieri bet another 1,325. The big blind probably should have let it go preflop and saved some chips since he folded to the bet. Minieri is up to 55,000.
