What a huge boost on Omar Zazay's lifetime poker tournament earnings this victory represented. He just multiplied by four everything he had won until now.

wow, omar zazay is a real menace at the poker tables, nevermind that i hear the first time about him- that doesn't make his win any less amazing. zazay has become one of the hottest properties in the online and offline poker world. girls are shouting his name and surname on the streets and children are crying from joy that they had a chance to peek at zazay...
