Sammy Farha's Agent Gets Shown the Money

[user22113]

A player in early position raises to 2,000. The middle position calls. The cutoff says "I call and raise" and the other players call string bet. The floor is called over, and after a discussion it is ruled that his "call" declaration stands. The small blind folds and Sammy Farha's agent, Michael Hirschensohn, calls time on himself. He eventually calls and the flop is {J-Diamonds}

. Everyone checks to the cutoff who bets 8,000. Hirschensohn raises to 16,000. Two players fold and the cutoff pushes all in for 4,000 more. Hirschensohn calls immediately and has Q-Q. The cutoff has K-K and the board finishes out {9-Clubs}

. Hirschensohn has 47,500.
