El Sayed Still Expensive
Sam El Sayed's stack has been all over the place today, from down in the doldrums and as high as 110,000, but that is expected when you play the way he does. He started the following hand with 31,000, which in El Sayed's book makes him expensive.
The action folded around to Sander Laprik on the button and he made it 4,500 to play and when the small blind got out of the way Sam El Sayed confidently moved his 31,000 chips in as an all in bet. Laprik did not look happy about this and re-checked his cards.
"I have nine high, but it is you," the Estonian said, which prompted a chuckle from the rest of the table. After close to a minute of thinking Laprik let his hand go.
"Show me a nine," said El Sayed obviously not believing his opponent. Laprik gave permission for his hand to be shown and he was telling the truth as he showed 
and El Sayed returned the favour and flipped over 
.
"You didn't have the heart to call there," claimed El Sayed, sounding very much like Tony G, "I am not that short. I am still expensive."
Expensive or not he won the hand.
