I haven't posted this earlier, since I haven't invested in Owais personally, and also fact that I wasn't a witness of the incident first hand, and did not wish to tarnish someones reputation without first hand proof, but after stumbling across this thread, I feel obligated to mention this.
His bustout story from Day 1b on
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...event-1127430/ is a flat out fabrication.
The reason I can say this for sure is because I know the "lady who overplays her hand" very well , and she recapped the bustout hand for me right after the hand happened. She was super excited about busting a player of Owais's caliber and came over to my table to tell me about it. I was playing the same tourney.
"She raised and got 3 bet shoved on by Owais and she called. Owais had AQ and she had AK."
She mentioned about the 2p2 post of Owais about his bustout hand which she happened to stumble into around new year's eve. She is just an recreational player and does not care enough to post on 2p2.
I obviously trust her since she told me owais's hand the same day she played the event, and only saw Owais's recap of the bust out hand a month later.
I could ask her about stack sizes and stuff but that is unimportant. The important thing is that Owais did just flat out fabricate his bustout version to make it sound better, it is kinda funny and sad at the same time cuz the way I saw it, his real bustout hand was fairly standard.
