Farha Busts Lacay

Sammy Farha is in the building, again, but only for the second tournament PokerNews has seen him play this World Series of Poker.

On this hand, Farha was up against Ludovic Lacay on the {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs} board and Lacay had checked. Farha bet 8,400 and Lacay tanked for a long time before finally making the call and leaving himself with less than 2,000 behind.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Lacay checked. Farha bet 2,000 to put Lacay all in and he made the call.

Farha tabled the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for two pair, king and queens, and Lacay mucked his hand. He hit the rail while Farha hit 60,000 in chips.

Farha is widely considered as one of the best Omaha players in the world. His three WSOP gold bracelets all come from the game, with one in Pot-Limit Omaha and two in Omaha Hi-Low. Farha won his third bracelet in 2010 in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Championship for $488,241. In 2006 he won his second bracelet and $398,560 in the $5,000 Omaha Hi-Low event and his first came in 1996 when he won the $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event for $145,000.
