Title: Darrell Dicken Doubles Through Jeff Littlefield
Log: Jeff Littlefield raises to $75,000 from the button, Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken moves all in from the big blind for $331,000, and Littlefield calls with Ac-Js. Dicken is dominated with Ad-7s. But Dicken takes the lead on a flop of 7d-5c-2c, and goes on to make quads when the last two cards come 7h-7c. Darrell Dicken doubles up in chips.

What a luck box... nice job Giga!

James Van Alstyne raises to $75,000, Michael Gracz moves all in, and Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken moves all in over the top. Then, Patrik Antonius moves in over the top of him. Van Alstyne quietly folds to get out of the way, and this probably wasn't what Gracz was hoping for when he flips over Kh-9h. Dicken shows pocket aces (Ad-As) -- you knew they were out there somewhere -- and Antonius shows Ah-Ks.

The flop comes Kd-9d-5d -- Gracz flops two pair to take the lead! Antonius has a pair of kings, but he is drawing dead for the main pot because the other players have him dominated in different ways. (He could win the side pot over Dicken if he catches another king.) Dicken has the ace of diamonds for the nut flush draw, so Gracz needs to avoid diamonds and the case ace to stay alive and triple up in chips.

The turn card is the Jh, and Gracz is one card away from rebounding up the leaderboard and pushing toward the final table with the Player of the Year award in his sight.

The river card is the 3d.

Dicken's pocket aces give him the nut flush to win the hand, and Michael Gracz is eliminated in 15th place, earning $80,500. (Darrell Dicken finishes the hand with about $1.5 million, and Patrik Antonius is down to about $1.7 million.)

Gracz had a great run at Player of the Year this year, but it effectively comes to an end when he needed to finish fifth or higher in a 555-player field -- and he finished fifteenth. Congratulations to Michael Gracz on a superb 2005!

And a 5 for a better two pair (and turn card J for another better two pair). Does it annoy anyone else when the site tries to list the outs and still misses some. Either list them all or just say, 'he needs to improve'. Ok, pet peeve ranting done.

GL GIGA... I'm looking for some combo of a Laak, Brunsen, Dickens final 3.
