Minieri Stack So Small It's Nonexistent

[user46392]

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Dario Minieri had only been seated at his table for a few minutes when he found himself abruptly ejected from the tournament. It was a slice of classic Minieri audacity that this time simply backfired when his opponent actually had the goods.

There was a mid-position limp before Minieri raised to 450 in the cutoff. The gentleman in the small blind called, the limper did too, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {4-Clubs} {q-Spades} {7-Clubs}

It checked around to Minieri who bet 800. The small blind gent called, the limper gave it up, and they were heads up to the turn.

Turn: {10-Spades}

Once again the small blind check-called, this time to the tune of 2,300, and they proceeded to the river.

River: {a-Diamonds}

The small blind checked for the third time and this time the bet from Minieri was all in. Once more the small blind called and turned over {a-Spades} {q-Hearts} for top two pair. Minieri's {a-Hearts} {2-Hearts} for a rivered pair of aces was nowhere near, and the diminutive Italian Team PokerStars Pro cheerfully bid his table adieu and headed for the door.
