Dieter Dechant Takes a Big Pot From Anthony Licastro

With over 500,000 already in the pot, Dieter Dechant faced off against Anthony Licastro in a battle of the blinds. Dechant and Licastro were sitting quiet for a few moments before Dechant stacked his chips and put them all in the middle. Licastro rechecked his cards and pitched them into the muck.

Dechant stood up and fist pumped. "Yes!" he said. "That's the first hand I've played in like three hours."

"Wooo!" One of his fans on the rail cheered. "I'm gonna go get a beer and I'll be back to cheer for you."

With that pot, Dechant moved over 1,000,000 chips while Licastro slipped under the mark after being there since the start of the day.
