Dibella Clawing His Way Back Toward The Starting Stack
It's been a rough start for our defending champ John Dibella, who lost more than half his stack early on. Luckily for him, he seems to have turned things around and is at least headed in the right direction.
In a recent hand, there was 6,000 in the pot and a board reading 
when Dibella bet 2,500 into Jonathan Plens, who folded his hand. It may seem like a small pot, but it helped push Dibella up to 18K.

Action Players Collide: Minieri vs. Tran
Dario Minieri and Henry Tran are both action players, which is why we stopped by there table to watch them battle it out in a decent-sized pot.
It happened when both put in 5,700 and saw a flop of 
. Minieri checked from early position and then called when Tran bet 3,600 from middle position. Minieri proceeded to check-call another bet, this time 4,200, on the 
turn, and then both players checked the 
river.
Tran turned over 
for a pair of jacks, but it was no good as Minieri revealed 
for a winning pair of kings. Both players are off to a good start here on Day 1b and well above the starting stack.

Minieri Muscles Somerville Again
Earlier in the day we caught a hand where Minieri's constant aggression awarded him a pot against Jason Somerville. When we last came upon the table the two were going head to head in another pot.
The board read 
with roughly 4,500 in the pot. Minieri checked to Somerville and he threw out a bet of 4,000. Minieri dipped into his stack and came out with a big raise. Somerville was now facing 16,000 to go. He thought for roughly a minute before finally releasing his hand and awarding the pot to the Italian.
