Hand #185 - Fischer

For the fourth time, Fischer raises to 180,000. But this time Minieri calls.

Flop: {8-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}

Minieri checks, and after a short, expressionless pause, Fischer bets his favorite amount, 180,000. Again, Minieri calls.

Turn: {4-Clubs}

This time they both check.

River: {Q-Diamonds}

Now Minieri bets 300,000. Fischer, still expressionless, announces all in. Minieri folds instantly.

Hand #186 - Minieri

Dario Minieri limps on the button, Seth Fischer checks his option and we see a flop...

{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Fischer checks, Minieri thinks checks are for banks and bets 115,000. It's enough to take the pot.

Hand #189 - Fischer

Fischer raises to a million! Not really, he raises to 180,000. Minieri now reraises to 400,000. Fischer now moves all in! Really! Minieri folds and Fischer takes the pot.

Hand #191 - Minieri

Oh lordy me
Oh lordy me
Fischer raises to 180,000, Minieri-all-in-Fischer-call. It's that fast.

Minieri: {3-Spades} {4-Spades}
Fischer: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

Dario is putting on his coat.

Flop: {2-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {J-Spades}

It's a dangerous one, and there are a few "oohs" -- everyone holds their breath.

Turn: {4-Diamonds} -- Fischer looks as though he's fighting to hold back nausea.

River: {4-Hearts} -- 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.
