Minieri's Big Flush

We caught up with the action on the turn in a heads-up pot involving Team PokerStars Pro Dario Minieri. The board showed {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs}, and though the action is uncertain, it appears that both players checked the flop based on the tiny pot in the middle. On that turn card though, Minieri led out with a bet of 625, and his opponent took a quick pause before making the smooth call.

The last card off was the {2-Hearts} to pair the board. Minieri grabbed 4,500 chips and made a big overbet of the pot. His foe let out an audible sigh as he leaned back in his chair and sat in the tank for about a minute. Finally, he leaned forward and pulled two yellow chips from his stack, making the raise to 10,000. Minieri didn't seem to like it, but he made the quick call for the few thousand extra chips.

The unknown player turned over {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} for the full book, and it was the winner. Minieri flashed the {A-Clubs} as he sent his cards into the muck, his stack slipping back to just about where he started the day.
