Darios Suffering in Level 8

Alioto: Still in but down to 6,300
Alioto: Still in but down to 6,300
No, I didn't miss an apostrophe - table mates Dario Alioto and Dario Minieri both had a bad level. First off Alioto gave up a 15k pot to a river bet on a {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} board (he was small blind vs. big blind and I wish I knew how such a pot grew).

But Dario Minieri's in much worse shape - in fact he's out, having reached the Red Alert of under 3k.

Just prior to his busting (in fact I think it was the hand before) he did win a few chips, getting it all in preflop in Omaha hi-low with {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {J-Spades} {4-Spades} in the small blind vs. utg's {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {2-Hearts} .

"Low cards!" commanded Minieri.
"High cards!" came the reply.

Flop: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} (One got their wish)
Turn: {7-Hearts}
River: {3-Clubs}

"You got there," laughed his opponent as Minieri took his half of the pot.
