My Mo Ibrahim story. In my very first WSOP tournament I made it to the final table. It was the 2003 2K Limit Hold'em event. When it got down to the final five players Ibrahim had about half the chips in play and the rest of us had nearly equal stacks. We all took a break to discuss a deal. After several minutes of discussion we agreed that Mo would get second money of 145K (First paid 290K) and we would get 100K each. Mo agreed and we were all very happy. Then Huck Seed and Ted Forrest entered the scene. They had staked Mo in the tournament.
Seed and Forrest killed the deal, telling Mo he could beat these four bums (I'm paraphrasing here, but in essence that's what they told him). Play now continues and a few hands later I get QQ and raise. Only Mo in the big blind calls (with 5,7s). The flop comes T,4,8. He checks, I bet and he calls. The turn is a 6 and I end up going broke on the hand. I win 35K but am feeling very disappointed about the 65K I lost.
Forrest and Seed were correct and Mo wins the tournament and the full 290K. A few years later he disappears from the tourney scene. I heard he had returned to his homeland in the Middle East....
