Sherkhan Farnood, Giant Killer

A big-stacked Sherkhan Farnood just had Chad Brown, Phil Ivey, and Layne Flack all in. On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, here's what they had:

Farnood {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Brown {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Ivey {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Flack {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river the {8-Diamonds}. Amazingly, Farnood's two pair were enough, and he took all the chips. He's up to 60,000.

Shouldn't call him a "giant killer," though. As you might have guessed, all three of the losers rebought.
