    this is just a guess but im trying to put the pieces together. In the 2005 tournament of chamions on ESPN a young player at the final table named Brandon Adams fit all the past descriptions of Dustin Dirksen. Espn talked about how he is a college student, a avid online player, and once beat Mike Matusow (who does play full tilt occasionally) heads up in online poker for 20 grand. Could Brandon Adam's be Dustin Dirksen? just a theory. GIVE SOME FEEDBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dirksen is Screech from Saved by the Bell? Ok....

    Maybe someone could explain to me the rumor that GTKID, who also was at the final table with Dirksen at the 200k guarentee and played impressive himself, was Daniel Negreanu.

    I'm not sure about dustin being screech.After the 200k tournament I had seen him playing at a sit n go and I started talking with him.

    He was very nice and talked with me for awhile.In our conversation he had told me where he was from.I don't know how true it was, but why would he lie?Put it this way, he wasn't from ca or any other place you would imagine screech living.He's definately a hawk eye fan!I have heard that jen. tilly plays here alot under a screen name that i can't quite remember........something like lvtb?

    That is the rumor. Dustin Diamond is well known for playing chess (he made a video to teach kids the game.) It would not be a stretch to move in to poker considering it's popularity. On several occasions (in another forum, while he was at a table, etc) it was mentioned that it might be Screech. Being a rumor it could have been started by some idiot somewhere but since I have heard it more than once who knows.

    I seriously doubt this is true. Dustin was quickly turned from just a normal player to a very successful NL player making a lot of cash. People just see a guy multiple days in a row with 100k + when the max buyin is 10k. They just want to think that its some hidden celebrity playing. He is sweet though. wish i was the good and that lucky also! Go Dustin!

    who is he ive heard his name a lot

  16.  

    I can't confirm that last post, but I have also watched him play. I have to say he is pretty good. I watched him at the final table at the last 200K tourney. Just last night I saw him with a huge stack playing at the 50/100 NL with a full table. way to go D

  17.  

    So what was his initial BR? did he win a big tournament?

  18.  

    I have seen this guy play a few times. He was quite impressive.

  19.  
  20.  

    The guy is from Hampton, Iowa and now goes to Iowa, not Iowa State (shudder). If you want to be really creepy, look him up on the University of Iowa phonebook directory, or better yet Facebook him. I go to Iowa and have a few friends in law school who have heard of this guy.

    I think he won a 200k tourney at least thats what i was told but all i know is he is a very talented no-limit player i enjoy watching him play

  22.  

    Nah i wouldnt stop. I mean im sure he is averaging up +50k a day or so. Of course your going to hit some swings, but i think i would withdraw a lot, and keep on going till i get sick of it or start losing big.

  23.  

    I also spoke to him, and he is a law student so this rumour is false.

  24.  

    so he is ballin now because he won the $200k gauranteed tourny?
