Dario Minieri opened with a raise to 1,850 from the button, then Roy Matthews reraised to 2,900 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Minieri quickly reraised to 10,050 total. Matthews took little time raising again, this time to 20,050.

Minieri then without hesitation shoved all in for what appeared about 20,000 more -- the chips scattered and were difficult to count -- and Matthews, who had Minieri covered, snap-called.
