Wild Ride for Farha

Sammy Farha's been involved in a few recent hands on Orange 59, with mixed results. First Farha check-called a bet of 12,000 on the river of a board that showed {K-Spades} {5-Spades} {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Farha's opponent in that hand showed down {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} for two pair, kings and sevens. Farha mucked and dropped to 14,000.

A few hands later, a three-way pot developed with Farha involved again. 12,000 chips were in the middle preflop, with the action checking all the way to the river on a board of {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts}. It was there that Farha moved all in for 11,025. He was called by one opponent. Farha showed {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} and dragged the pot to climb back up to 32,000.
