Re: 73, why not just open push there as opposed to raise/call?

The only reason it could possibly be is that he thought a non-all-in raise appeared stronger, right?

BOOM!!

15. Mike Gracz (by Darrell Dicken) - $80,500

Darrell Dicken eliminates Mike Gracz

Oooh!! Doubly good!!

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 K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Darrell Dicken A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Patrik Antonius A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

The flop came K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] putting Gracz in the lead with top two pair. The turn came J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] with no change, but the 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the river gave Dicken the nut flush to take the pot.

After the hand Darrell Dicken was up to 1.5M (!!!) and Patrik Antonius was at 1.7M.

Giga must have been sick when he saw the flop, but he's right back in the mix now. That also wraps up the Card Player POY Award for Men Nguyen.

b) Christian Laettner's foot
c) Aminu Timberlake's chest (Kentucky forward)

any questions?

Yes, actually. Who, pray tell, won that game?

but given Antonius's stack (over 2 million chips) it's hard to see how he woultn't at least call a mere 50k raise with most marginal hands when he's getting nearly 2.5-to-1.

Re: WPT Bellagio Five Diamond - Day Four (Official 5 Diamond Thread!)
 

Gigabet tripled up. *Edit - more than tripled up to 1.5 million

DD - AA
Antonius - AK
Gracz - K9s

Action goes raise by Van Alstyne, Gracz push, Dicken push, Antonius overpush

Gracz makes two pair on monotone flop, Dicken holding the only diamond on a K9x diamond flop, and the 4th diamond comes on the river

Re: WPT Bellagio Five Diamond - Day Four (Official 5 Diamond Thread!)
 

Whoah, looks like he tripled up too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

*edit* yeah what he said ^^

we all know who won that game. that's not the issue. the issue is the unbelievably poor sportsmanship displayed by Laettner and the tacit support for that behavior given by Coach K and all Duke fans.
