Farkye Terrorizing His Table

We came to Kofi Farkye's table to see what he has been up to so far this morning. Teddy "Iceman" Monroe related a recent hand in which a player opened for 8,000 and Farkye reraised to 30,000. The initial aggressor then moved all in for about 75,000 and Farkye called. His opponent showed {A-?} {Q-?}; Farkye, apparently, held the powerhouse {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. Of course, neither player hit the board until a deuce fell on the river to make Farkye the winner and knock his opponent out.

"It was the wildest call I've seen in a while," said Monroe. We counted Farkye's stack at 460,000. His call demonstrated that those chips don't mean that much to him and as a result, the rest of his table is watching him very warily.
