Minetti Hits River to Double Back Up Through Minaya
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Manelic Minaya raised to 400,000 from the hijack and Michael Minetti three-bet jammed for 1,950,000 from the big blind when the action was folded to him. Minaya considered it for a bit and then called with the bigger stack.
Michael Minetti: 4♥4♣ 
Manelic Minaya: A♦9♣
The flop came Q♠9♠Q♦ for Minaya to hit two pair and for Buck Bucceri to pump his fist in the air.
The turn was the J♦ to not change things and while some players were already celebrating, the dealer completed the board with the 4♠ for Minetti to hit a full house to stay alive and double up.
Minaya walked away from the table in disbelief and returned to confirm the amount before taking his seat for the next hand.
