Kings Are Good for Farha

Four players, including Sammy Farha, limped into the pot and saw a flop of {3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Farha bet 3,000 and got one caller.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and Farha bet 6,000. He got called again. When Farha bet 10,000 at the {2-Hearts} on the river, his opponent looked at the board and asked, "Are you trying to buy the pot?" Sammy just smiled and his opponent called.

When Sammy tabled {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}, his opponent visibly winced and mucked his cards.
