Minieri and Martin Run Into Aces Before Break
Just before the break we had two players run into aces and get eliminated.
First Dario Minieri was eliminated after he three-bet shoved for 9,000 on the button. Chris Klodnicki re-shoved for almost 25,000 from the big blind and Marko Neumann, the initial raiser, got out of the way.
Minieri: 
Klodnicki: 
Minieri received a little help from the 
flop, but the 
on the turn left him with only two outs and he did not improve with the 
on the river.
A few hands later on an adjacent table, Ville Wahlbeck opened to 1,000 before Jesse Martin three-bet jammed for 10,900. Action folded to Darren Elias in the big blind who tank-called and Wahlbeck showed 
before folding.
Martin: 
Elias: 
Again, the flop was kind to the underdog: 
. However, like Minieri, Martin couldn't improve further when the turn (
) and river () were both blanks.
