On the first hand of play, Eric Koskas and Dario Minieri are heads up with the board reading . Koskas moved all in and Dario went into the tank. The two began a dialogue in which Koskas repeatedly asked for a call and the two speculated endlessly on the other's holding. At one point, Koskas said "I'm crazy but I'm not stupid," a phrase which sparked an outburst of laughter from the gallery. After roughly five or six minutes of chatter, during which time even the EPT television commentators were trying to call a clock, Minieri finally folded. Koskas showed and a queen and Minieri said, "I definitely folded the worst hand then."
