All He Has His Bullets and His Word, and He Don't Break Them for No One

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Emad Alabsi is a man of his word
Emad Alabsi is a man of his word

Emad Alabsi already won a poker tournament this week... now he's just getting greedy.

Alabsi just scored a huge double through Miguel Borrero - backing up a boast he made moments earlier.

Borrero had chided Alabsi for an unspecified action, with the winner of Event 8 retorting "it doesn't matter anyway, I'm getting all your chips soon!"

Sure enough, after Borrero made an opening raise to 80,000 Alabsi sprung his trap, moving all in for 274,000 more. Borrero called off most of his stack with just {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} - admitting after the hand that his opponent's bluster had goaded him into the decision - only to see Alabsi roll over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} like a man who speaks the truth.

The final run out of {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades} sent Alabsi the pot, as he backed up an earlier boast in style with the bullets.
