Dario Minieri Chip Leader at His First WSOP Final Table
Viewers of the 2007 WSOP Main Event will remember Dario Minieri as the young Italian player who wore a brightly-colored scarf. Although he ultimately placed 96th in the 2007 Main Event, Minieri was a huge chip leader for a portion of the event and thus garnered a lot of media attention.
In his third trip to the World Series of Poker, Minieri has made his first final table and he’s going into it with a commanding chip lead. The $2,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Six-Handed Event #31 final table has been set with Minieri leading the way with $1,721,000 in chips. Other final table players are Kevin Song, Justin Filtz, John O’Shea, Seth Fischer and Stuart Marshak.
Kevin Song, currently in second place, is the only player at this final table who has a WSOP bracelet to his name. He took first place in the 1997 WSOP $2,000 buy-in Limit Hold’em event. Play will resume at 2pm PDT today with the winner receiving a WSOP bracelet and a $528,418 first-place prize.
