Hand #161 - Filtz

Seth Fischer makes it 150,000 from the small blind and Justin Filtz folds.

"Seth 'The King' Fisher," says the announcer, perhaps trying to create a new moniker for the man in seat 6.

Hand #159 - Minieri

Justin Filtz raises to 175,00 from the small blind, Dario Minieri calls.

{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

"Action flop," comments my neighbor.

Filts checks, only for Minieri to come out firing with a bet of 250,000.

Filtz lets it go and Minieri claws back some of those lost chips.

Hand #156 - Filtz

Fischer folds, Filtz limps in and Minieri checks.

Flop: {7-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} -- check, check.

Turn: {6-Spades} -- they check again.

River: {4-Hearts}

Filtz bets out 100,000 and Minieri gives it up.

Hand #154 - Filtz

Justin Filtz limps from the button, as does Dario Minieri from the small blind. Seth Fischer checks.

{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Minieri checks, Fischer checks, Filtz bets 85,000, Minieri raises to 240,000, Fischer folds.

Filtz glances over at his opponent and chuckles as Minieri lifts his scarf over his face like a masked intruder.

Filtz eventually decides to push all in and Minieri instantly calls, the long pause from Filtz probably suggesting that he had a genuinely tough decision.

Filtz = {J-?}{10-?}
Minieri = {Q-?}{10-?}

Turn = {5-Spades}

Minieri claps his hands. but are his celebrations premature?...

River = {J-Clubs}

Gasps from the crowd as Filtz, showing his first signs of real emotion, leaps into the air in delight and heads off to celebrate with his following in the stands.

Minieri, meanwhile, is left searching for the vomit bucket.
