Big Stack Chicken

[user140525]

Who is going to blink first? Usually, when Dario Minieri is in a big hand, it's not going to be him. But Anas Tadini, the other sizable stack at his table, decided to test that theory.

Flop: {K-Clubs}

Minieri bet out 2,100, and Tadini called. Standard so far.

Turn: {7-Hearts}

Dario bet 7,000, and again Anas made the call. Still nothing unusual.

River: {5-Diamonds}

Apparently the action card both players were waiting for. Minieri checked. Tadini bet 7,000. And then it got interesting. Minieri made it 15,000. Tadini bumped the bet to 35,000. Dario counted out his entire stack, looked like he might push, and then announced fold. Tadini slammed his cards down on the felt: {8-Hearts}
