Dario Minieri

Poker career

Dario hails from Rome, Italy, and he became interested in poker at an early age.  His early reputation was established online at Poker Stars.  In fact, he racked up so many points at Poker Stars that he earned a Porsche Cayman.  Recently, Dario made his mark on the professional poker tour, scoring a first place finish last June in the World Series of Poker Texas Hold’em tournament

While Minieri has been a prolific player online at Poker Stars, he has also made a reputation as a tough one-on-one opponent.  His first big payday on the professional tour was October 10, 2006, when he placed third in the Big Double – the European 7-Card Stud Championship—and took home $164,850.  In July of 2007, he took 96th in the World Series of Poker No Limit Hold’em Championship.  In 2008, he continued to move up the professional ranks with a third place finish in April in the San Remo EPT Event No Limit Hold’em, and he won the World Series of Poker No Limit Hold’em six Hundred in June.  He took home a combined total of $905,352
