Minieri Up the River

Dario Minieri - Out
Dario Minieri - Out
Down under 5,000 chips, Dario Minieri has been looking like someone ran over his dog for the last few hands. He found a favorable spot after a player in middle position limped into the pot. When it came around to Minieri's small blind, he moved in for 4,650 total. A short conversation ensued between he and the limper, ending with Dario saying, "Come on, gamble." His opponent obliged, splashing in the chips and tabling {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs}. Minieri was in the lead with {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades}.

The flop paired his opponent, but it was pretty safe as it came out {8-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. The {Q-Spades} on the turn didn't change anything, but the river card sure did. The {A-Hearts} peeled off, and several players at the table let out a genuine, "Awwww." Not sure why they'd want to keep the dangerous Minieri around, but it's no matter now; he's out.
