Minetti Hits River to Double Back Up Through Minaya

Shirley Ang

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Manelic Minaya raised to 400,000 from the hijack and Michael Minetti three-bet jammed for 1,950,000 from the big blind when the action was folded to him. Minaya considered it for a bit and then called with the bigger stack.

Michael Minetti: 4♥4♣ All in
Manelic Minaya: A♦9♣

The flop came Q♠9♠Q♦ for Minaya to hit two pair and for Buck Bucceri to pump his fist in the air.

The turn was the J♦ to not change things and while some players were already celebrating, the dealer completed the board with the 4♠ for Minetti to hit a full house to stay alive and double up.

Minaya walked away from the table in disbelief and returned to confirm the amount before taking his seat for the next hand.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yucel Eminoglu raised under the gun to 625,000 and Philip Muller called from the small blind.

On the 2♣Q♥10♣ flop, Muller open-shoved for around 6,500,000, and Eminoglu called.

Philip Muller: K♥J♥ All in
Yucel Eminoglu: K♣K♦

"I need an ace or a nine," said Muller.

No ace or nine came as neither the 4♦ turn nor 3♦ river could save Muller from elimination.

"I'm more dangerous when I'm tilted," commented Eminoglu as he was raking in the pot.

Gregory Nichols: A♣J♦ All in
