We're Guessing "Any of the Other Eight Players at the Table"

After one player limped in, Dario Minieri limped in on the button and the big blind checked. Three players took a flop of {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} {7-Clubs}. Action checked to Minieri, who bet 600. Both opponents called.

When the {3-Hearts} hit the turn, action again checked to Minieri, who bet 1,700. This time each of his opponents folded, allowing Minieri to collect the pot and chip up his diminished stack to about 10,000.

Once all of the cards were in the muck, Minieri looked around the table and joked, "I would like to bust before dinner. Who would like to help?"
