Re: WPT Final 6
 

Wow, good thing someone started the 3425th thread on this.

The answer to your question is RIGHT HERE - on the front page of this forum.

Re: WPT Final 6
 

I was thinking this could be the officical 'in play' thread. If you like I could add *** OFFICIAL *** to the title. I know you guys go for that stuff.

Re: WPT Final 6
 

7 pm PST.

Other than cardplayer, I'm pretty sure there's another site or two showing video/coverage of the 5 Diamond... I saw some yesterday on another PC, and I cant seem to find them again...

can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: WPT Final 6
 

All,

As this thread was created first, it has my endorsement as the OFFICIAL Bellagio WPT Final Table thread.

Re: WPT Final 6
 

Dids and Diablo,

Thank you for your ongoing support and recognition of my efforts.

Re: WPT Final 6
 

Chuddo,

Please try to keep this thread on topic. This will deal primarily with hands played today; so no talk of the 73, A7 or AQ hands. Thanks.

I was looking around earlier.. from what I see thats the best..

Gutshot has coverage here as well

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

It seems to me Darrell got a really good seat draw. A couple of people who might possilby be intimidated by him to his left with the seemingly more experienced Doyle and Phil to his right.

Thoughts?

For final tables, yes. They have virtually every hand played within a few minutes of it actually being played.

Phil Laak points out that when you play online (as Patrik Antonius often does), there is no applause feature like there is here in the studio.

Someone doesn't play on PartyPoker.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

I never get applause...of course I suck at Cash games.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

So far Patrik has gained about a million and Laak has lost a similar amount.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Patrik Antonius is making spectacular reads... I highly doubt he had the best hand everytime he has won a pot that went post-flop today.

His play throughout the tournament has been spectacular for the most part, and he's bounced back from several bad beats. He's definitely someone to watch in the coming year.

Gigabet is raising a ton of pots. I think he's waiting to raise with a monster, and take out someone who re-raises at the wrong time.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Ouch.... poor Gigabet =/:

Hand #27 - Darrell Dicken has the button in seat 1, Dicken raises to $150,000, and Antonius calls from the small blind. The flop comes Jd-10d-10s, Antonius checks, Dicken bets $250,000, and Antonius calls. The turn card is the 10h, putting three tens on the board. Antonius checks, Dicken bets $350,000, and Antonius calls. The river card is the Ad, putting three diamonds out there. (Of course a flush would be pretty vulnerable with three of a kind on the board.) Antonius bets $600,000, and Dicken folds. Antonius picks up the pot.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Antonius just finished off Laak. Picked up another $2 million or so.

1 Patrik Antonius $ 6,010,000
2 Joanne 'J.J.' Liu $ 4,845,000
3 Darrell Dicken $ 2,585,000
4 Rehne Pedersen $ 2,430,000
5 Doyle Brunson $ 815,000

Patrik has picked up FOUR MILLION in an hour and a half. Doyle's chips have mostly magically disappeared.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Ya, way to donk off the chips Laak. Too bad not to Darrell though.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Hand #30 - Joanne J.J. Liu has the button in seat 4, Antonius raises to $200,000, and Laak thinks for a while before he pushes all of his chips ($2,060,000) into the middle from the small blind. Brunson folds from the big blind, and Antonius immediately calls -- with pocket aces (Ah-As). Laak is upset with himself as he shows Kd-3c, and he's a big underdog here.


The flop comes Ks-Js-10d, and Laak picks up a pair of kings to give himself a fighting chance with five outs. The turn card is the Ad, which means Laak cannot win the pot -- although a queen on the river would put a straight on the board to chop the pot. But the last card is the 5h, and Phil "Unabomber" Laak is eliminated in sixth place, earning $160,995.


The next player eliminated will receive $241,495 for fifth place.

On another note, J.J. has yet to lose a pot tonight.

Don't understand what Phil was thinking there.... sounds like a huge risk just to win 200k.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Man Phil Laak is gonna be thinking about that dumb move for a LONG time. Difference between first and 6th is 1.9 million. Jebus! Got through 484 and only needed 5 more people to go through and ya screw it up.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Question: does anyone know what the WPT blind structure is? I know they use a different one for the final table.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

[censored].

Doyle Brunson Doubles Through Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken
Log: Hand #31 - There is a dead button in seat 5, and Brunson moves all in from the small blind. Dicken calls with As-Jc, but Brunson dominates him with Ad-Kc. The flop comes 10c-9s-7d, and Dicken picks up a gut-shot straight draw, and he can win with an eight or a jack. The turn card is the 5s, the river card is the 2h, and Doyle Brunson doubles up in chips to over $1.6 million.

EDIT: This means Gigabet is down to about 1.6 million as well. =/

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

lol damn, Antonius is the luckiest player alive. Way to just get handed 2mil in chips.

It appears as though JJ is letting everyone go crazy on each other while she picks up a few small pots to avoid losing a couple hundred thousand chips cause of the blinds/antes.

This was a resteal. He probably had a read that Antonius didn't have a strong hand. If Antonius folds, he picks up a 400K pot and maybe K3o won't be in too bad shape if heis called.

Notice Antonius made a small raise to 2.5xBB. The Unabomber undoubtably interpreted that as a weak attempt to steal the blinds.

Re: WPT Final 6 (Clearly Official 5 Diamond Day 5 Thread)
 

Doyle just hauled in a pot from Patrik, so he's over where he started from at over $2 million.
