Minieri Cracks Kings To Double Up

Dario Minieri
Dario Minieri

Team PokerStars Pro, Dario Minieri has been on life support from an early stage in this tournament but has just bought himself a little more time after cracking kings to double up.

Finding himself with around seven big blinds, he moved all-in under the gun and picked up the 450 blinds.

The very next hand a player in late position limped in, the cutoff also limped and the small blind completed. Minieri then looked at his cards and instantly moved all in, with only the cutoff coming along for the ride.

Minieri: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Cutoff: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop was no real help to Minieri, though he did pick up some outs to a gutshot straight draw. However, they were not needed as the breautiful, for him anyway, {a-Hearts} peeled off on the turn to flip this hand right on its head. The {4-Clubs} on the river completed the hand and saw Minieri double to 3,850, which will be just short of ten big blinds when the players return from a break.
