A good start for the miniature Italian, as Dario Minieri pushes Mika Puro off a sizable pot. Puro bet out 3,000 on the turn of a board, and then flat-called a raise to 7,050 from Minieri. Come the river, though, Puro checked, and then quietly folded when Minieri bet 13,000 -- easily enough to cover Puro.
With that, Minieri has broken the 50,000 mark and is firmly up there with the chip leaders.
