One PokerStars Pro Thrives While Another Fails to Survive

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

A player in middle position raised to 600 and action folded to Team PokerStars Pro (Italy) Dario Minieri in the big blind. He called the additional 400 and the two saw a flop of {3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Minieri checked, middle position bet 1,400, Minieri check-raised to 3,500, and middle position quickly moved all in for around 16,000. Minieri gave it a few moment's thought before releasing. He is still in good shape with a stack of 63,000.

On the other end of the spectrum, Team PokerStars Pro (USA) member Vanessa Selbst recently busted. She had bluffed off 30,000 of her stack and couldn't manage to make a comeback with the remaining 10k or so.
