Farha Dashing Dreams

We pick up the action on the flop in a hand between Sam Farha and an unknown player. There is about 900 in the pot already, and the board shows {3-Hearts}

.

With Farha in position, he sees his opponent bet out 650 chips and makes the call. The turn comes the {4-Hearts}

. The bettor checks, and Farha comes out with a bet of 2,500. The player announces, "Raise," and makes it 6,500 to play. Farha calls.

The river brings the {A-Hearts}

. Check to Farha again, and he moves all in for a little less than 14,000 chips. His opponent goes into the tank for a few minutes before making the all-in call, putting himself at risk of elimination. He flips over {K-Diamonds}

, but it's no good against Farha and his {A-Spades}

. With his full house, the pro and his unlit cigarette notch an early knockout, chipping up to 42,000.
