High stakes tournament specialist Dario Minieri is running hot on PokerStars with money making results. And this Sunday, he was on fire as he joined the $5,000 Freezeout and the $10,000 High Stakes Showdown. Down to three-handed play in the $5K Freezeout, the players struck a deal that gave them each $25K of the $100K first place prize and left the mandatory $25K on the side for the winner. And the eventual winner was none other than Minieri who netted himself nearly $45K for his victory.
While he was busy taking down the freezeout, Minieri was also running over high stakes professional Barry Greenstein as he was Minieri’s first opponent for the $10K High Stakes Showdown competition. Just over half-an-hour after winnings the strong field of the freezeout, Minieri finished off “Genius28″ in the final match of the showdown. With eight entries this week, the first place prize of $50K earned Minieri another $40K in winnings. As if going through those two elite field of players wasn’t enough, he also went deep in the $1,000 Sunday Million. First place was a whopping $353K+ payday, but Minieri finished 42nd out of 1,802 entrants for a $5,406 cash.
But he wasn’t done there. To finish things off, Minieri also took down the $200 Rebuy NL Hold’em tournament that also took place on Sunday for a $56K+ first place win. Three victories and a deep run in the week’s biggest tournament was how Dario Minieri spent his Sunday as he racked up an impressive $145K in tournament winnings.
