No Retreat, No Surrender

Darrell Dicken has had a rough day. After repeated skirmishes with opponents at his table, including Wayne Brown, Dicken was down to roughly 3,900 in chips. Dicken could have very easily just given up, picked a random hand to push in his chips, and left the Amazon Room after his "inevitable" bust. Instead, he never gave up, and after a recent hand in which Dicken made the second-nut flush on a board of {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} with {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} in the hole, he is now up to 53,000.

Darrell Dicken -- the latest example of "a chip, a chair and a prayer."
