What the Farkye?

David Steicke relieved Kofi Farkye of 100,000 chips in two hands

Kofi Farkye's head is probably spinning. After doubling up David Steicke on an earlier hand with {k-?}{q-?} against {a-?}{10-?} on a ten-high board (the money went in preflop), Farkye and Steicke were at it again. An early-position player opened the pot for 3,600. Farkye called in the cutoff before Steicke raised to 13,600 from the button. His raise folded the early-position player but brought an all-in reraise from Farkye of 48,000.

Steicke, with about 81,000 behind his initial reraise, went deep into the tank. After what seemed like an eternity, he made the call and tabled {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. He was ahead of Farkye's {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} and stayed that way on a board of {9-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}.

As a result of this hand and their earlier confrontation, Farkye is out and Steicke has about 165,000 chips.
