To say John Dibella is breaking bad in the poker world is a straight out lie. The man made a name for himself at the 2012 PCA in the Bahamas by defeating a field of 1,072 players to capture a first-place prize of $1.775 million! Since then Dibella has been traveling the poker circuit and racking up more cashes.
Most recently, Dibella was here in Mashantucket back in March for the Foxwoods Poker Classic. The $2,325 Main Event attracted 192 entries, and Dibella navigated his way to the final table and ultimately finished in eight place for $12,687.
Dibella is looking to continue his success here at Foxwoods and is in today’s field seated at the same table as 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Greg Raymer. While sitting next to a former champ may be exciting to some, Dibella doesn’t seem at all star stuck. Instead, he is focused on his iPad as he watches the diabolical deeds of Breaking Bad’s Walter White in between hands.
