WSOP event #5

[lorinda]

Afraid this will mean nothing to many of you, but to the more regular it will

Getting to the business end of things in the next couple of hours (http://www.pokerpages.com/blog-players/poker-mike-paulle.htm)

Lori

[Apathy]

Could you be reffering to this?

Darrell Dicken 14k

Best of luck to him, tough field of remaining players.

[TStokes]

apathy thats gigabet right?

[vinyard]

Yes

[augie00]

Anyone else think that Mike Paulle is really scary looking?

[TheNoodleMan]

nice, looks like he has a shot. Thanks for the link lorinda.

Good luck to Giga, but I gotta root for Prince Docness. That has to be the coolest name ever.

[Scuba Chuck]

Giga, just made a huge move. Top 6 in chips now.

[SuitedSixes]

Yugo is there right now, and trying to figure out who he is. Live updates will, hopefully, follow.

[lorinda]

How has Yugo spent a week in Vegas and not found out who he is /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Lori

[SuitedSixes]

Gigabet didn't show for the 2+2 dinner, and has remained a mystery. I think Yugo has had him scared.

Not scared from a poker standpoint . . . but scared from a stalker standpoint.

[SuitedSixes]

Yugo has found him and made the following statements:

"He has a shitload of chips."
"His eyes are dreamy."
"Should I have him sign my breasts?"

Break is coming up, more to follow.

[Scuba Chuck]

Took a little nose dive. Now at 17k in chips. Down from 22k. That being said, there's under 80 now. Top 63 are paid.

SS - no explanations needed.

Isn't there any photos of Darrel from Irie's post? If not, we'll have to scour this events. What's the over under on the fish glasses?

[lorinda]

Classic /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Are any of you still going to be there later in the week?

Lori

[Scuba Chuck]

SS - so I take it he isn't wearing shades?

[SuitedSixes]

No, I came home a day early actually.

[SuitedSixes]

Yes to both glasses and iPod. He went to the bathroom on the break, but Yugo's legs buckled and he couldn't follow him.

Irieguy has left to deliver a baby.

[Scuba Chuck]

SS, ask if Yugo got to see any of this.

[Nick M]

when I said this year I meant since january. That's 6 months. Not 4 1500p tourns. that might get a little frustrating if it was my job.

[SuitedSixes]

Phil Ivey is out.

[SuitedSixes]

Yugo has met Gig and even bought him a drink. Yugo now drinks Red Bull because Gigabet does.

Gigabet is still alive with a good amount of chips.

[curtains]

Yeah I really hate this guy Paulle's reports, why does he have that job? They are always so mysterious and completely devoid of any relevant information.

[Shilly]

Looks like he's in third place with 22 remaining. Hopefully he'll win the thing and reveal all mysteries (including the meaning of life).

[iMsoLucky0]

I just got back to my room at the Bellagio from watching gig at the Rio. I hung out with Yugo, Greke, and Raptor while watching gig for a while. He ended with 80k chips and I would say he's the favorite to win the tournament.

Also, please don't think that suited was exagerating Yugo's obsession with Gigabet. If anything, he was underestimating it. Right after I got there (the others were there before me), before yugo had met Gigabet, it was like little schoolgirl getting ready for her first date. He was so giddy.

I am extremely inattentive to detail. hence all the posts where I make a snap judgement say something about a hand, someone reminds me of the chipstacks/ players left, and I go "oh... forget it".

I had read all the links about him doing well in the tourney, I guess I never read the header about what tourney the results I was reading were for. I never heard anyone say he's played omaha before either.

[Voltron87]

I wasn't aware he played that game often.

[luckyplayer]

Anybody have an update? Cardplayer has 17 remaining as of ~ an hour ago. But they give no stacks or anything.

It will be interesting if carlos and giga are at another final table together.

Darrell Dicken sends Carlos Mortensen to the rail

Darrell Dicken knocks out Simon Zuo

[IHateKeithSmart]

From pokerwire:

"Darrell Dicken knocks out Simon Zuo
Zuo was shortstacked and got all in on a flop of Ad Tc 8h with [As Th 2h Qs] versus Dicken with [Jc Kc 8d 4d]. The board came runner-runner fours and Zuo will go home with $10,595 for 12th place."

[Chief911]

Bummer is, if you look at the chip counts, he is WAY down in chips from where he was before. Must have doubled a few people up to 100k.

Nick

[TheNoodleMan]

Looks like he's been bleeding some chips between KOs

Edit: McCoy has since been eliminated.

[SuitedSixes]

Gigabet's girlfriend, Yugo, says that he was down to 1 100t chip at one point.

Yugo also doesn't understand Omaha. He says that Gig "keeps winning with garbage like A2."

[GtrHtr]

[jgunnip]

He's the chip leader going into the final table!

[TStokes]

are they down to 9? cardplayer just says they are doing little questionares.

[jgunnip]

Since I don't want to start a new thread I'll just say that Raymer has a monster stack in the 6-max. (event 6)

[GtrHtr]

use this link (http://www.pokerwire.com/)

[SuitedSixes]

Yugo reports that this event will not be televised.

[GtrHtr]

I hope he's wrong.

[GtrHtr]

I saw that. Gavin Griffin is still alive as well.

[SuitedSixes]

I think the lack of ESPN cameras is a dead giveaway.

[TStokes]

cardplayer says it wont be televised

[GtrHtr]

yeah, just read they cancelled this broadcast to show 2 days of event 2.

[davehwm]

We may get one of those.. "also going on away from our main table is the final table of another event" type deals.

[Phoenix1010]

Holy crap. Go Gigabet.

I laughed my ass of at this.

As far as ESPN filming, Cardplayer says:
"Players are on a short break as they fill out ESPN information papers. Although this is not one of the fetured television events, ESPN will still record portions of the final table and require player information."

So they might have little snipits here and there when they televise one of the other events.

[TheTimeIsUp]

With 10 players remaining these are the chip counts:

Seat 1 - Minh Nguyen - $24,000

I emailed bet365 earlier today to see what kind of odds I could get on Giga to make the final table of the main event. They put him up this afternoon at 66:1... get it while you still can!

I'm kicking myself for not doing it a week ago when Lorinda got me thinking about it.

triple!!

[LordBP]

This one didn't help.

Darrel raises to $12,000 from the button. Dan and John call. The flop comes 10s 7c 7d. Dan checks, John bets $6,000, Darrel calls, and Dan calls. Still three players. The turn is the 3h. Everybody checks. The river is the 5d. Dan checks, John bets $12,000, Darrel calls, and Dan calls. John scoops the pot with a 6-4 for high (seven-high straight) and an A-2 for low.

Is it me or is giga involved in almost every major pot they list on cardplayer... He must be winning alot of small pots to be losing these big pots and still be in the game.

The guy is definitely not afraid of splashing his chips around...

[Danielih]

Congrats Gigabet. This was one of the weakest fields ever assembled, In fact I am almost certain that in terms of EV as a measure of how many times the buyin it is second to only the main event. Unfortunately you start with so few chips it keeps luck as a major factor throughout the tournament. At the dinner break I had an average stack and it only gave me 8 BB. I dont think Pascal is all that good despite what his tournament record may be. I think Minneapolis Jim is fairly solid as is Minh Nguyen. Nothing spectacular thouhg. I cannot comment on the other players.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Here are the official chip counts from the break for the final seven players:


1. Pat Poels - $229,000 (seat 10)
2. John Lukas - $221,000 (seat 3)
3. Jeff Devall - $190,000 (seat 4)
4. Dan Heimiller - $151,000 (seat 8)
5. "Minneapolis" Jim Meehan - $92,000 (seat 7)
6. Bahram Kianfar - $91,000 (seat 9)
7. Darrell Dicken - $80,000 (seat 5)

His name is Prince. I believe he is an LA pro and would consider Omaha8 his best game. I believe he is basically a cash game pro that also is playing tournaments now. He is a solid player. I have played with him in full mixed games as well as 20 minutes or so heads up Omaha8.

Jun 08, 2005
02:13:17 EDT Jim Meehan eliminates Darrell Dicken
Dicken was all in with [A&amp;#9829;][2&amp;#9824;][9&amp;#9830;][7&amp;#9829;] versus Jim Meehan with [A&amp;#9824;][9&amp;#9827;][9&amp;#9824;][6&amp;#9824;]. The board came [10&amp;#9827;][8&amp;#9829;][3&amp;#9827;][10&amp;#9824;][Q&amp;#9824;] and Dicken will go home with $38,585 for 7th place.

[Sponger15SB]

Yeah I hate it when I go all in with [A&amp;#9829;][2&amp;#9824;][9&amp;#9830;][7&amp;#9829;] and it gets cracked by [A&amp;#9824;][9&amp;#9827;][9&amp;#9824;][6&amp;#9824;]

The WSOP is rigged.

Darrell Dicken Eliminated in 7th Place ($38,585)

Dicken raises all in to $16,000 preflop, and Meehan calls. Dicken shows Ah-9d-7h-2s, while Meehan has As-9s-9c-6s. The flop comes 10c-8h-3c, and Meehan holds onto the lead, while Dicken has the nut low draw and an open-ended straight draw. He needs to catch a four, five, six, seven or jack to win. The turn card is the 10h, the river is the Qs, and Darrell Dicken is eliminated in seventh place, earning $38,585

Yugo has met Gig and even bought him a drink. Yugo now drinks Red Bull because Gigabet does.

Gigabet is still alive with a good amount of chips.

Giga wouldn't let me buy him a drink...instead he bought *me* and House drinks, /images/graemlins/blush.gif.

Yeah....Red Bull is the f*ckin' nuts and I never even realized.

Yugo also doesn't understand Omaha. He says that Gig "keeps winning with garbage like A2."

[/ QUOTE ]

I laughed my ass of at this.

As far as ESPN filming, Cardplayer says:
"Players are on a short break as they fill out ESPN information papers. Although this is not one of the fetured television events, ESPN will still record portions of the final table and require player information."

So they might have little snipits here and there when they televise one of the other events.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was hilarious when they introduced Giga at the final table and the guy reading his 'player profile' read off how long he had been playing poker:

'And in seat 5 with [a shitload] of chips is Darrell Dicken who is 27 and has been playing poker for 20 years...umm...err...wait....[mumblemumble]'

Giga almost put down McDonald's Manager for profession but didn't quite pull the trigger.

Oh, and btw, it took f*ckin forever for them to seat the final table...first they were just going to be at a regular table...then during break they decided to put them on the main TV ready table (without the cameras and stuff) only to realize none of it was set up properly. Giga wasn't able to fully carry his momentum in b/c of that sh!t....oh well.

He won't/wouldn't.

Also, none of us wanted him to lose his edge by distracting him with petty mortal concerns such as food...

Oh, and in response to Degen: Yeah, Scott was there sweating for like 6 hours....he only had like 1 person/minute come up to jock him and say 'congrats man...must be cool to win a bajillion dollars and almost repeat in the NLHE event'.....ya think?!?!

Oh, btw, he's a very cool dude too....I didn't really chat with him much but heard several cool stories and felt he handled all the attention well while still keepin' it real.
