We didn't catch the hand but Dario Minieri has eliminated another player over at Table 22. Jack Salter was his latest victim, which mean Minieri has eliminated half the table and collected three bounties already here today. Only Matt Affleck and Henrik Tollefsen stand in his way.
From the cutoff seat, Thomas Fuller raised to 800, the minimum amount. Twenty-fourth place finisher in the 2010 WSOP Main Event Ronnie Bardah was on the button and reraised to 2,300. The small blind mucked, but Kyle Frey in the big blind had other plans. He four-bet to 5,300. After Fuller folded, the decision was to Bardah and he tanked for a little bit. He tossed his bounty chip into the middle to show that he was all in. Frey tanked for a bit with about 23,000 behind, but eventually mucked his hand and Bardah scooped the pot.
Bardah's up to 32,000 now.
We were walking by Table 22 when we noticed Dario Minieri with three bounty chips in front of him. In addition to his own, he had collected both Chad Brown's and Peter Gould's. "It is the Dario show here at Table 22," Matt Affleck joked as we made note of Minieri's success.
In other elimination news, Michael Benvenuti was eliminated by Josh Brikis; David "ODB" Baker knocked out Patrick White; and Joe Hachem has been sent to the rail.
Level: 3
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
With 20,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Al Grimes moved all in out of turn for 9,225 against Daniel Alaei. Tablemate Daniel Negreanu got a good chuckle as Alaei simply said, "I was gonna do that."
Eventually Alaei made the call but mucked when Grimes revealed 
for a rivered full house. Grimes is up to 38,000 while Alaei took a hit down to 21,000.

There was about 9,100 in the pot and a board reading 
when Viktor "Isildur1" Blom checked from the cutoff to Cliff Josephy on the button. Josephy fired out a bet of 7,400 and Blom quickly mucked, dropping to 27,000 in the process. Josephy is up to 31,000.
Meanwhile, we've noticed a couple bounty chips changing hands: Pat Pezzin has eliminated Justin Bonomo and Pall Volpe was sent to the rail courtesy of Faraz Jaka.
The loudest pot of the day award goes to....
Humberto Brenes had been all in for about 5,500 with 
against the 
of his opponent. All the money went in preflop, and Brenes was drawing slim for his survival.
Until the flop, that is. The dealer spread out 
, and Brenes burst into one of his I-told-you-so celebrations as he flopped quads! Brenes is sporting a pair of PokerStars sneakers, and he promptly plopped both feet up on the table and threw his arms in the air above his head. The turn and river came 
and 
, and Brenes has doubled up loudly. He's back over 11,000 now.
Level: 2
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
This is one of the more unhappy tournament fields we've seen in a good while, if we're honest. For starters, the media in attendance are a bit peeved at the lack of a table draw now 20 minutes into the day. But the players seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed as well.
There was a long disturbance at Josh Arieh's table that involved a player whose name we don't know. Mr. Unknown apparently grabbed his big blind out of the pot as he faced a raise from Arieh (as if he were contemplating reraising), then mucked and put his chips back into the pot. Arieh was fuming mad, and he and Darryll Fish had a long conversation with the floorman. They argued that the player's angle was a ploy to get free information. As we walked away, Arieh was just finishing with, "I just hope it doesn't happen again. There's no reason to ever, ever grab money that's already in the pot."
At the adjacent table, there was a another floor call in progress as well. Amnon Filippi and Isaac Haxton were arguing that there weren't enough T25 green chips on each table to keep the action moving smoothly. The floorman said he'd make a note of the issue and take a look at it for future events, but Filippi pressed the issue. "How hard is it to grab some more chips and make some change? You're telling me that's going to interrupt the flow of the tournament?" The discussion went back and forth for about five minutes before the floorman surrendered.
He was last seen walking away from the table, head down, arms in the air.
