Farha Doubles Through Froehlich

Three players limped in before Eric Froehlich raised to 4,800. Three players called, including Sammy Farha, and the flop came down {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The action checked to Froehlich, who bet 9,300, and Farha moved all in for a total of 39,800. The action folded back to Froehlich, who went into the tank.

"It'd be easier if another card was a heart, and not just the ace," Froehlich told Farha, who smiled.

After tanking for a little longer, Froehlich called.

Froehlich{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Farha{a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The {3-Diamonds} on the turn paired the board, giving Farha a full house, but if a queen spiked on the river, then Froehlich would win the pot. A meaningless {7-Spades} completed the board however, and Farha raked in the massive pot.
