Arrivederci Dario

Dario Minieri begged his table to bust him before the dinner break. They didn't comply until two hours and 20 minutes after post-dinner play began. Minieri raised to 1,600 preflop from the small blind and was called by Cedric Kolstad, who had limped in from middle position. Minieri bet 2,300 on the {2-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} flop. Again Kolstad called.

When the turn came {10-Spades}, Minieri shoved for his last 7,500. Kolstad made the call with {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. Minieri was ahead with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and needed to dodge the river. He couldn't do it when Kolstad hit one of his "dirty" outs, the {10-Clubs}, to make trip tens.
