Out of all the games being played in the tournament, the one game on most of the players' minds is the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers playoff game. Doyle Brunson and Eli Elezra have people running back and forth to the television screen to check the scores for them and give them constant updates. Other players have requested that the monitor be turned towards the $10,000 Mixed Championship tournament area.
We all know Sammy Farha knows how to gamble, and he was at it again. This time against Vanessa Rousso.
Farha made it 10,000 to go and then Rousso moved all in, having Farha covered. Farha wasted little time in making the call as he moved his stack in almost immediately.
Farha:
Rousso:
A ten-high flop followed by a queen on the turn gave Farha the lead in the lead. Rousso couldn't pull back into the lead with the river card and forfeited about 64,000 chips to Farha. She is now down to 53,000 and pacing back and forth amongst the tables declaring how unlucky she is. Farha is up to 140,000.
Ray Dehkharghani's aces were snapped off by Johnny Chan's trip jacks in a stud-8 pot where there was no possible low. Chan scooped and Dehkharghani was eliminated.
Once we get to no-limit hold'em, the short stacks seem to start flying. On this hand, Tom "durrrr" Dwan raised under the gun and Sam Farha called from the small blind. Farha then announced he would check dark to Dwan.
The flop came and Dwan bet out. Farha raised all in and Dwan called.

Farha laughed and said, "You're in good shape now, kid."
