  1. Day 4 is about to get under way. Internet watchers will know at least two names in the remaining field, "gigabet" (Daryl Dicken) is a little short stacked after peeling off a lot of chips to Liz Lui late last night and "LFISGD" (Brad "the Assasin" Booth) is sitting in the middle with about 675K in chips. I'm sure there are a couple more internet guys left along with the other names we already know.

    Good luck to Gigabet and LFISGD.
  2. does anyone know how that 2million chip pot that giga lost on the last hand of the day went down yesterday?
     
  3. It was not Liz Liu that gigabet lost a lot of chips to. It was J.J. Liu, who's a fantastic player. I'm pulling hard for her today
     
  4. He called a reraise against J.J. Liu with AQ. The flop came K high and he checked and then called a big bet. The turn paired 3's on the board, and he made a monster bet, which she just called. The river was a blank and he pushed. She called showing pocket K's for the full house.
     
  5. Gigabet basically went in on a complete bluff and JJ Lui had KK, and the flop was K66.

    The money didnt get all in til the river, but Gigabet was doing all the betting.
  6. Adam Friedman is still in. I am sure you all remember the red-haired 24 yr old that cried on espn quoting " I played perfect poker for 3 days " after he chased down a K high flush draw and got there on the river against the A high draw and pair. I know him personally, im a student at IU and he recently graduated, despite how stupid he looked on ESPN he is good. He did well in WCOOP this year, bubbled in Tunica and the WSOP Circuit event at Ceasars. We will both be playing at the WPT PCA in January and he is my pick of the shorter stacks.

    -Roger G. / term_
  7. That's too bad for Giga, he does seem to like to bluff a lot on paired boards. He has posted several of those hands on 2 +2, anyways gl Giga!
  8. u mean the kid that just got knocked out in 26th? and yes, he did look ridiculous on ESPN.

    Title: Adam Friedman Eliminated in 26th Place ($48,300)

    Log: Adam Friedman has just been eliminated in 26th place, and cried.</span>
  10. where do you go to watch it on the internet??

    thanks
  11. Isn't Patrick Antonious, I Knockout U? The guy who's probably the most successful at the high limit nl online cash games? Or did I mishear that?
  12. i heard this as welll
  13. For anyone who is interested in the last hand that gig was in, he describes it in detail on 2+2. His thought process is incredible and it just goes to show what a different level the top professionals are on.
  14. I would like to point out the image of "pulling hard" for a female player is not a pleasant one.
  15. can anyone post that article ? Would be appreciated .

  20. there is no article, just gig posting his thought process and a discussion
  21. Also still in is Bengt Sonnert who plays online as pokerbot. If the P5s rankings tookaccount of ladbrokes and other Euro sites this guy would be top 20 as he is a monster online. He also finished 4th in Monte Carlo and is my favourite pro to watch as he plays a style so aggressive it makes NSXT2 look like double Lucky!!
  22. I saw Friedman at Caesars a few days before the 10k buyin even there. He was playing 20-40 limit. He got into an argument against a guy with a lot of cash and kept talking about how many "dimes" he had in his bank account. At the time I didn't know about the crying incident or that would have been easy retaliation. Nonetheless, he looked ridiculous. He has more money than me though so....
