You'd Be Imad to Call

An absolutely gigantic pot had formed by the river of the {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} board -- there was already 25,000 in the middle, and we caught up with the hand just in time to see Imad Saab move all in for over 28,000, easily covering his opponent.

Mr. Opponent dwelled long enough for Mr. Saab to call the clock on him. He was down to less than 10 seconds, his sunglasses removed and staring blankly as if into an endless, chipless void before he passed.

Mr. Opponent is down to around 10,000; Mr Saab is up to 53,500.
