Minieri Snaps off Ferguson's Bluff

Dario Minieri
Dario Minieri

No-Limit Hold'em:

Sometimes, even a small Italian man can see through Jesus' soul.

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson opened for 2,600 from late position, Dario Minieri called from the button, and the big blind called. The flop came down {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and the big blind checked to Ferguson, who bet 5,000. Minieri called and the big blind folded. The {7-Spades} fell on the turn and Ferguson took another shot, betting 11,000. Once again, Minieri called. The river was the {2-Spades} and Ferguson fired a third time, making it 25,000 to go. Minieri snap-called.

Betcha can't guess their hands.

Ferguson was on a stone bluff with {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, but Minieri made that insta-call on the river with {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}-- nothing more than ace-high for the Italian Team PokerStars Pro.
