Farha Takes a Hit

Sam Farha on Day 2a
Sam Farha on Day 2a

With the board reading {5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Sammy Farha was faced with an all in bet of 30,200 with about 30,000 in the middle already. Farha tanked for a bit, but eventually made the call and a third player behind him folded.

Showdown
Mr. Shover: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Farha: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Farha needed one of the three remaining nines to make a better straight, but the {10-Spades} on the river paired the board and changed nothing. Farha is still very healthy though, sitting with 220,000 chips.
