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

How many times has Gigabet come from behind in a showdown with his life on the line? There was the A7 quads hand, this hand, the 73o hand and a 72s hand right?

Title: Rehne Pedersen and Darrell Dicken Chop a Pot
Log: Hand #52 - Patrik Antonius has the button in seat 2, Dicken raises to $300,000, Pedersen moves all in for $1,050,000 from the small blind, and Dicken calls with Qc-8c. Pedersen dominates him with Ah-8d.


The flop comes 7d-6c-4s, and Pedersen is still in the lead with ace high. But the turn card is the 5h, and both players make an eight-high straight to chop the pot. (The meaningless river card is the 2s.)

Gigabet knows there's going to be a lot of bullying by the big stacks, with the blinds so high. He basically risked half his stack, to send the message that people who move in on him better have a hand, because he will call them down.

Although I'm sure he was hoping he'd have 2 live cards.

yep - pretty much the same philosophy that Gus Hansen made popular during the first 2 seasons of the WPT.

Hey, you can't argue with success. haha.

<b>Hand #62</b> - Patrik Antonius has the button in seat 2, Dicken raises to $300,000, Pedersen moves all in for $1.2 million from the small blind, and Dicken calls with Q-J. Pedersen shows Ah-Js, and he's in a dominating position to double up here.


The flop comes Ac-9c-9d, and Pedersen solidifies his lead with a pair of aces. Dicken needs something runner-runner to survive, but the turn card is the 3s, and he is drawing dead. (The meaningless river card is the 5s.) Rehne Pedersen doubles up to over $2.5 million in chips.

CHRIST GIGABET.

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

calling w/ dominated hands is not a successful long-term (or short-term) strategy.
