Number 2 and 4 in the tournament at the same table.

Re: Gigabet making a run at Bellagio ME
 

better'n yesterday. In the random draw of the almost 350 players left at the start of day 2, Chip Stack #2 was directly to the left of Chip Stack #1.

Re: Gigabet making a run at Bellagio ME
 

Giga is now the chipleader with almost twice as much as 2nd place. ITM now.

Thanks to this hand :

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!

-

So, we're playing 75o OOP against a chipleader PF re-raise close to the bubble with the 2nd biggest stack at the tourny. Gotta love his game.

Re: Gigabet making a run at Bellagio ME
 

he aint scurrred

Re: Gigabet making a run at Bellagio ME
 

Antonius is a favorite on that flop right? 14 turn outs, 17 river outs? Gigabet only has 4 redraw outs. What a hand.

We gotta know more about the bet sizes to get a better idea, but Antonios' flop raise was a huge, huge overbet I believe.

if giga led for near pot, it's not too much of an overbet.

Re: Gigabet making a run at Bellagio ME
 

47k in pot, giga leads for like 40k....antonius makes it 400k more, yeah its a pretty huge overbet.

We don't know darrell's image or patrik's image (though I have heard that Patrik is one of those Scandinavian laggish mofos), so it is a little hard to stick PA on a hand range given the flop push. However, logic would say he either had a big draw or a pair plus draw, something weak @ SD but with huge FE on the flop.

I bet KJs was about the best hand DD was expecting to see, no?

Re: Gigabet making a run at Bellagio ME
 

post flop i think its a good call. preflop who knows what was going on with the dynamics between the two of them.

Based on the recap, looked simply like a typical steal/resteal type of situation, where Giga was probably getting plenty of odds to go ahead and see a flop.

As for the flop play, image and that stuff doesn't matter at all. The only thing he really has to answer is if Patrick will play a set in that manner. Still takes guts to call though.

Suppose Patrick had flopped a set? Seems to me like a good move might be to overbet with a monster in this situation against a thinking opponent, especially if you think your opponent likes his hand (knowing gig's bet amount here might help). Or is this move -eV in the long run? Even if so, doing it every now and then for metagame value couldn't possibly hurt.

For Gigabet, I bet the decision to call comes down more to the odds Patrick actually flopped a set than the way he's playing it. And the odds are very low considering Gig flopped 2p and Patrick *apparently* didn't push back very hard with a vulnerable hand like JJ preflop (w/o knowing the preflop raise amts).

And you can almost certainly eliminate J7, J5 given the preflop action. So Gig had to have him very likely on a flush draw+. Man what a gutsy call in that position in the tourney.

Re: Gigabet making a run at Bellagio ME
 

Doesn't seem that gutsy to me... That scandanavian is a LAG, or so people say, and coulda been reraising with a lot of hands. One hand beats him: JJ, 55 and 77 are too unlikely. I think this is a very very easy call post flop. I wish I knew what the positions of the players were preflop to maybe understand if Gig's raise was from the button (making the reraising range even bigger) or if Gig was doing this from an earlier spot.

Give him tonight or maybe a day or two, he'll probably tell us what he was thinking. Gig is usually cool about talking about his tourney hands. Then we can have the full picture.

What were the position of the 2 players? Maybe it was blind versus blind. It was definately LAG versus LAG. Anyway calling tghe reraise with 75 is typical Gigabet.

The Unabomber went deep into the tank and finally after a few minutes, he started to pack up his things. He loaded up his spare sunglasses and his iPod into his hooded sweatshirt and asked the crowd that had gathered to clear a path out of the Fontana Lounge. After his preperations, he leaned over and pushed in the remainder of his chips, roughly 280,000. With Phil prepared to leave, Joanne Liu started to count her chips, appearing ready to call. After shuffling her chips and playing with her cards, Liu eventually folded. Phil Laak now has 758,000 in chips.
