Dario Minieri faced an all-in bet of 133,000 from Anthony Spinella, with the board reading {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

. There was another 125,000 in the middle from previous streets. Dario took a long time to figure out what to do. He asked Anthony if he would show if Dario showed and, "I'll tell you when one of us is knocked out," was the answer. This seemed to make up Dario's mind and he pushed out the call.

Dario had {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

against the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

that Anthony held. The river was the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and again the room erupted as the local favourite won a monster pot to take him to around 600,000 and up amongst the chip leaders.
