Tabatabai Runs Good
Firstly, Tabatabai didn't realise the event was today, and consequently turned up ninety minutes late to find his stack depleted to 3,500. However, right off the bat he was dealt aces, and so duly raised it up.
By the river, Tabatabai had just one yellow 1,000 chip left, but his opponent didn't realise and turned over a flopped full house to spare him his tournament life.
Now, after spiking a nine with versus on a board, Tabatabai is boasting a stack of 9,500 and thanking his lucky stars that his opponent didn't have his eyes on the game.
"I was nearly back at the pool," he added.
It's a hard life...
