Yup, Minieri's Out
Dario Minieri lasted just over one level of play today. We caught up with the action just in time to see Minieri's -X-X-X lose to Dario Alioto's . Minieri had already used up all of his add-on chips and was sent to the rail as the first player out of the event today. If you're wondering how someone can blow 30,000 chips so fast, here's a look at the rest of the stacks at Minieri's table to get a feel for where they may have gone.
Seat 1: Unknown - 8,000
Seat 2: Shawn Sheikhan - 15,500
Seat 3: Unknown - 11,000
Seat 4: --empty--
Seat 5: Dan Shak - 11,400
Seat 6: Dario Alioto - 20,000
Seat 7: Justin Smith - 9,000
