Darrell Dicken, a.k.a. Gigabet is in second place in this tourney.

Thought some of you might be interested.

Gigabet owns. Patrik Antonius is solid too. Pretty good online contingent at the top of the leaderboard. SamENole and JohnnyBax are also still alive

at what site does this Gigabet guy play? ive always wanted to see some of these top internet players in action but i dont know where to find them. can anyone tell me the screen names of these guys?

He used to be Evenkeal on party, but he's probably changed that name. I know he plays on stars too. You might be able to find his name on 2+2.

And now he's the new chip leader...

go to pocketfives.com, they rank the best online tournament players. A lot of them post in the forum as well.

he just took a HUGE pot off the chip leader and is now in first. he must have a huge lead.

he's the only reason im keeping up with the updates.

and i think on the bubble in what was almost a coin flip situation.

that would have sucked to be 2nd in chips, and get busted by the only guy who can bust you on the bubble.

he plays to win though.

thx for the tip Petoria

i gotta say that Gigabet guy has balls. calling a bet for all his chips with bottom 2 pair so close to the money is like...wow. i mean he probably put Antonius on a big pocket pair because of the reraise preflop, which would make 2 pair a much safer hand...but as it turned out Giga was all in on pretty much a coin flip. he is definitely playing for the win.

well if you want to get technical, antonius was actually
ahead when the money went in.

anyone know the hand?

dicken raises preflop. p.a. re-raises. dicken calls. flop: 5-7-J two hearts.
dicken leads, p.a. goes all-in. dicken calls.

dicken: 5-7 for two pair.
antonious: K-Jh for pair and a flush draw.

blank, blank, dicken doubles up.

ahhh. but gigabet got cripppled on the last hand of the day by kings over sixes and he's down to about 310k.

she flopped kings full on a board of: K-6-6-7-2.

we went all in with AQ and she made a tough call with KK. SW.

anyone know the blind/ante amount or where i can find that information?

JohnnyBax and SamEnole got beat out .. cause I can't see there names anywhere

i'd be willing to lay money that dicken knocks out jeff littlefield.

this seems to be the exact sort of position he likes to be in.

i'd bet he'll raise nearly everypot UTG till littlefield finnally decides to take a stand and dicken calls with rags or near it.

thats sick after i read your post i clicked refresh on cardplayer and you called it near perfect

Are you psychic?

you can read all his posts on 2+2, and other stuff he's written, and really get a feel for how he plays. (he's an absolute effin genious if you can start to understand what his point is)

one of the things he likes to do (with a big stack) is put himself in near marginal situations where he can bust shorter stacks out. (to generalize)

i wasn't nearly right as dicken actually picked up a hand. i think with nearly any hand dicken is making that re-raise and essentially making littlefield play for all his chips. (i'm not positive but i don't think dicken would mind if he had 10-5 and littlefield went all-in preflop with AK.)

i really hope he makes the 6 to be on tv.

a dollar says it was dicken who eliminated sonnert.

having him on your right is -ev.
