'Nine Lives Sammy' Stays Alive
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with three players in the pot on a board showing 3♥5♦A♥. A player in the small blind bet 6,000, before Sammy Farha raised all in for 49,000 from middle position. The player in the hijack made the call, and the small blind folded.
Sammy Farha: K♥10♥ 
Hijack: A♣Q♣
Farha was behind the pair of aces of his opponent but could hit a heart for a flush. When the board ran out J♣ on the turn and the 2♥ on the river, Farha did just that and made a king high flush, to double up and stay in the tournament.
