Clash of the Titans (KK vs. AA) as Minieri Doubles de Novonha
![[user46298]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
More action than a blended Die Hard box set now as under the gun raiser Jose Maria de Novonha found all the interest he could have wanted - first off Dario Minieri upped it to 7,000, then Joao de Silva fourbet to 17,800 (with over 40k behind). The shortest stack involved, de Novonha, immediately got it all over the line (around 26k). Back to Minieri, who checked out de Silva's stack, then moved in enough 5k chips to cover him as well!
De Silva thought for so long the clock was finally called on him, and immediately Minieri said, "I have Kings. You have Aces?" De Novonha nodded his agreement and it was 
vs. 
, with a third Ace being the only excitement brought by the board.
Smiling, Minieri paid off the correct amount to double him up and said, "That's poker! That's part of the game!" with a grin which seemed completely genuine, not like when players are really disguising their bad beat/cold deck sourness with the empty words of even-temperedness. Plus it didn't really hurt him as he's still one of the chip leaders. De Novonha up to 70k.
