Even without his Porsche, Dario Minieri is beginning to press his foot down on the gas. He now has close to 30,000, and could become a real danger man in this opening day. The last hand I witnessed him play saw his early-position preflop raise of 800 receive two callers, but the Italian bracelet-winner snapped up the pot with a continuation bet of around 2,500 on a flop.
