Farha Not Laughing

[user66118]

Sam Farha and another player got all in on the flop with the board showing {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{4-Spades}

. Farha tabled {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

, and his opponent showed down two overs and a gutshot straight draw with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

.

The turn was disastrous for Farha. The {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

filled his opponent's straight, and made Farha the one in need of help. And he got it. The river peeled off the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

, making the same straight for both players, and chopping up the pot.

After the hand, Farha said, "So sick. I never get hands like this. So sick." He would have no doubt preferred to double up, but after that turn card, hopefully he can be content with splitting the pot and staying alive.
