06-18-2008 22:35 UTC-7 Hand #192 - Minieri Copy link Share on Twitter Share on Facebook [user4144] Dario Minieri raises the button to 180,000. Seth Fischer makes the call. Both players check. Turn = There is still a lot of noise coming from the over-excited crowd. Fischer bets 200,000, and Minieri calls. A big pot is forming... River = Fischer bets 400,000, Minieri calls. Minieri takes it with queens versus an inferior 10-9. Italian singing from some of the keener segments of the crowd.
06-18-2008 22:32 UTC-7 Hand #191 - Minieri Copy link Share on Twitter Share on Facebook [user46392] Oh lordy me Fischer raises to 180,000, Minieri-all-in-Fischer-call. It's that fast. Minieri: Fischer: Dario is putting on his coat. Flop: It's a dangerous one, and there are a few "oohs" -- everyone holds their breath. Turn: -- Fischer looks as though he's fighting to hold back nausea. River: -- the Minieri side of the stage erupts in absolute madness. In yet another unlikely outdraw scenario, Minieri doubles up to 3 million, giving him back the chip lead.
