Poker's Harry Potter Wins WSOP Gold

By launchpoker, Jun 22, 2008 Poker's Harry Potter Wins WSOP Gold

Last year one of the more colorful characters at the World Series of Poker was Italian poker pro Dario Minieri, who wore a bright yellow and red scarf. This along with his small size earned him the nickname Harry Potter, and he did work some magic at the games. This year he completed the spell by picking up a WSOP victory in the $2500 No Limit Holdem Six-Handed Event. He defeated player Seth Fischer, who won $330,000. Minieri won $528,000 and his first WSOP bracelet. Minieri is also known for winning a car online by collecting frequent player points at an online poker room.
