Minieri Caught

A few minutes ago Dario Minieri was sitting amongst our tournament chip leaders. Now he's on the short stack. Such is the nature of the way Minieri attacks the game.

Minieri was just caught with his hand in the cookie jar against Jack Schanbacher who made a massive call for his tournament life. The board read {8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} and with around 40,000 in the pot, Minieri had moved all in to put Schanbacher to the ultimate decision. It was a big overbet as Schanbacher still had around 115,000 chips behind, and he gave the decision plenty of thought before committing to a call.

"Good call," sighed Minieri as he revealed {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for bare overcards as Schanbacher was in front with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Schanbacher lands a massive double up to get himself up to 270,000 chips as Minieri is down to just 25,000.
