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? |

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. |

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. |

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. (from PokerWire) |

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

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. |

Joanne 'J.J.' Liu raised to 250k from the button, Doyle Brunson re-raised to 1.0m, and Liu pushed in. Doyle folded and Liu took the pot increasing her stack.

[/ QUOTE ] Brunson was geting better than 2-1 to call. Interesting to see what junk he was restealing with, probably worse than Laak's K3o. I guess this is Brunson's survival strategy. |

I like Gigabet as much as the next guy, but goddamn he's gotten a lot of money in badly today.
