Minieri Stack Smaller
Minieri thought about it for a long time. He asked to see Rusnak's remaining chips (around 30,000) and for the dealer to spread the pot (over 35,000 as aforementioned). He continued to dwell up as a million media personnel, players and railers crowded around the table.
The dealer stared at Minieri. Minieri stared at Rusnak. Rusnak stared at Minieri's chips like a cat staring into a fish tank. If someone were to paint the scene it would make for an interesting composition. Eventually tablemate Anas Tadini called time.
Minieri continued to dwell, holding the requisite 15,000 in his hand as though he might call - but eventually he folded instead, leaving himself on a still fairly hefty 67,000. "You show?" he grinned hopefully at Rusnak. "No," was the straightforward answer.
