Another amateur with low expectations taking a huge first prize, these are great news. I always tend to question poker pros credibility when reading something like this. After all there were a bunch of pros in the game, but they just didn’t enough to block Jazayeri to build his way to the top. And those final hands are also very nice. Although we can see a point of what some call luck in those flops, the truth is Jazayeri played well with those hands, taking in consideration his chip stack.

That's bad azz! It just goes to show that if you think your a relatively good player and have the cash to enter the big games you could just come out on top. I think within the next five years I'm going to try a few of these big buy-ins. I mean the temptation is great, but to lose $10,000 for as hard as I have to work for it I just don't know.

wow that babe on the left looks really horny- boobs just beg for attention- as for the prize money, somehow the pictured money looks kinda "thin" probably we are just used to way bigger stack of cash lying on the table after seeing wsop cash on the table i guess...but hey great win, huge winnings
