The Dario Show
Opponent (X)(X) (X)
Dario Minieri completed on third street and got one called. Both players caught a king on fourth street. The action was checked to Minieri.
"I think I am still ahead here, so I bet," said Minieri, as he put out 400 in chips. Surprisingly, he was met with a raise, which he called.
"Are you raising there because you think you are ahead? Or because you're gambling?" asked Minieri of his opponent.
"I'm gambling," the man mumbled.
Onto fifth street where Minieri faced another bet.
"Did you pair the three?" he asked.
"No."
Minieri made the call, and faced another bet on sixth street.
"How about the six?" he quipped before mucking his hand.
Despite the loss, Minieri is still on about 20,000 in chips.
