Owais Ahmed Winning While Winning
It was just announced here in the Amazon room that Owais Ahmed was the lucky winner of a free seat to Event #47: $111,111 One Drop High Rollers No-Limit Hold'em. Ahmed was able to claim the seat by signing up for an account of WSOP.com. Out of many who signed up Ahmed claimed the biggest seat in the drawing.
Ahmed is no stranger to high stakes play. Just two years ago he made the final table of the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship where he finished fourth for $482,058. Ahmed is also a bracelet winner as he claimed a bracelet two years ago in a $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo locking up $255,959. This year, Ahmed has a second place finish to Tom Schneider in $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. (Event #15) where he locked up $159,950.
After Ahmed was announced the winner of the seat, Mike Matusow stood up from his chair and began shouting across the room, "JUST DUMP YOUR CHIPS OFF OWAIS!"
We'll be following Ahmed's progress tomorrow in the One Drop High Rollers tomorrow so make sure you stay tuned in to PokerNews.com for all the updates.
