Farha Straightens Out an Opponent

Why shouldn't Sammy smile?
Why shouldn't Sammy smile?
Sammy Farha and his opponent got all in on a board of {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Farha: {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

When the cards were shown, Farha's opponent was drawing dead and the {Q-Diamonds} on the river was just an unnecessary needle on his way out the door. Farha is up to 72,000.
