Farha Moves a Piece of the Mountain

Sammy Farha was heads up with chip-monster Filippo Candio on the river of a {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board. Candio checked, and Farha bet 40,000. Then Filippo put his chips to work, raising to 130,000. Farha easily called, and Candio moved toward the muck, saying he had five-high. Unfortunately for him, he'd tried to push Farha off of a straight with {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Candio's mountain is now somewhere in the 790,000 range, while Farha is up to 280,000.
