All in for the fifth time in his match against Sam Farha, Doyle Brunson moved in over the top of Sammy's 1,200 pre-flop raise and was met by a call, prompting the first (and what would be the last) showdown between the two.

Revealing their cards one at a time, Doyle showed the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

and would need some help to overcome Farha's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

.

The flop came {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

bringing no help to either player, but the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

on the turn shifted the percentage scales heavily in Doyle's favor. Needing a jack or an ace on the river to stay alive, Farha received no such help when the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

popped off on the river, giving the hand and the match to the godfather of poker, Doyle Brunson.
