Down and Up for Minieri

Dario Minieri had pocket queens, and a raising war put his opponent all in before the flop. He tabled two aces though, and the board blanked off to double him up and knock Minieri down to about 25,000.
A few hands later, Minieri found a spot to get it in preflop holding ace-king. This time he ran into the same pocket queens that had stricken him, but the ladies were kind to Minieri this time around. He found a pair on board, overcoming his opponent's queens to double back close to 60,000.
