Title: New Chip Leader -- Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken Doubles Through Patrik Antonius
Log: Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken raises preflop, Patrik Antonius reraises, and Dicken calls. The flop comes Js-7d-5d, Dicken bets out, and after a long period of thought, Antonius moves all in. Dicken immediately calls with 7c-5h (two pair). Antonius shows Kd-Jd (pair of jacks, flush draw), and he has a ton of outs to win this hand. The turn card is the 9h, and the river is the As. Antonius fails to improve, and Darrell Dicken doubles up in the biggest pot of the tournament to about $885,000 in chips.
Antonius took a huge hit on that hand, but he still has an above-average stack of about $412,000 in chips. But Darrell Dicken is the new chip leader!

I love how if anyone made either of these preflop moves in an $11 MTT, they are complete donks...but here they are geniuses. Its the grand ol' circle of life.
P.S. I'm not by any means saying that either of their moves were good or bad, just a poker social commentary.

I think you missed my commentary. Its not "If I made this move in my game, you'd all laugh at me, but he's gigabet."
Its "If Gigabet made this move in an $11 MTT it'd probably be a donk move." Him making it in the WPT does have value.
Eh, I was gonna post a big expansion of my "commentary" but decided it wasn't really worth it. Do I understand all the moves Gigabet makes? By no means. But I am one of those in the Gigabet fan club and feel that his hand posts give the most insights into poker theory and touch on psychology and philosophy.
Edit: I shoulda just waited one minute before posting my original post...Degen said exactly what I wanted to say.

I haven't seen all the info on the hand such as exact stack and bet sizes, but I highly doubt this would be considered a donk move in a $11 MTT.
What part of this hand would be considered a donk move?
Preflop - there are times where raising 75 in a $11 MTT would be worthwhile, calling the reraise would make sense if the stacks are deep enough
Flop- how would you play this differently in a $11 MTT?

True...Hey Cit, could you do me a favor and just delete my original post. I wish it to be stricken from the record.
Did any1 else see that Steve McQueen was just eliminated? Is that THE Steve McQueen? Anybody know? 'Twould be funny.
I still want to know the amount of both preflop raises and the positions. I've found out over on the WPT board that the blinds were 1500/3000 with a 400 ante, and 47k in the pot preflop. No word on who was sitting where, what the two raises were, or Gigabet's postflop bet, or any history between the two/at the table.

first thing that came to mind.
With the board showing 9s-6d-5d-Qh-Jd on the river, Joe Cassidy bets about $100,000 into a roughly $500,000 pot, and Patrik Antonius raises to $300,000. Cassidy makes an incredible call with Ad-7c (ace high). Sure enough, Antonius shows Ah-3d, and Cassidy's kicker plays to win the entire pot.

Gigs still in with about 400k, and 15 players left.
Gigabet may be in the final 15 of the 5 Diamond Classic, but I'm in the final 10 of a $50 SnG.
Take that, Gigabet!
From Pokerwire:
James Van Alstyne raised to 75k, Mike Gracz pushed in, Darrell Dicken pushed in over the top, and Patrik Antonius pushed in over the top as well. Van Alstyne folded and the players turned up:
Mike Gracz Kh9h
Darrell Dicken AsAd
Patrik Antonius AhKs
The flop came Kd9d5d putting Gracz in the lead with top two pair. The turn came Jh with no change, but the 3d on the river gave Dicken the nut flush to take the pot. Mike Gracz was eliminated in 15th place with $80,500.
After the hand Darrell Dicken was up to 1.5m and Patrik Antonius was at 1.7m.

Jeff Littlefield raised to 75k from the button and Darrell Dicken pushed in from the big blind for an additional 256k. Littlefield called and the players showed:
Darrell Dicken [A][7]

The board gave Dicken quads to double up when it came [7][5][2][7][7].

Making it to fifth is great. I'm sure he wishes he went higher, but this is a solid move in the right direction.
First, this payday is almost 10 times as much as anything else he has captured in live play (assuming the hendon mob website is accurate).
Second, he made a TV table for the first time. While the TV aspect may be superficial, it has to be nice to be able to say, "Why yes I have been on the WPT broadcast," whenever someone who doubts you makes a snide quip.
