Dario Minieri Cracks Aces

An early-position player raised, Dario Minieri moved all-in from middle position, a late position player called the all in and the EP player folded. Minieri tabled K-4 and was crushed by his opponent's A-A... that is until the flop came a spectacular {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. The turn was the {3-Spades}, the river was the {6-Diamonds} and Minieri doubled up, eliminating his opponent in the process.

Minieri is not only one of the most successful online poker players out there, but he was the first player ever to use his PokerStars frequent player points to buy a Porsche (it takes about 3,000,000 points in case you're wondering).

The flop was {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, pairing Herm's ace. The turn was the {10-Clubs}, giving Weum a gutshot straight draw, but the river was the {3-Diamonds}, sending Weum home early.
