Farha Faces the Silent Assassin

Sammy Farha raised under the gun to 125,000 before Richard Jutte, on his direct left, went all in for 1,120,000.

Farha was trying to get a read immediately, ignoring the rest of the table, and trying to get Jutte to engage with him:

"I think I got you right now... I might have to send you home. Maybe you'll send me home..."

When it did fold back to Farha, he asked the dealer if he could show his cards to Jutte and proceeded to show Jutte the 5♥5♦, thinking he'd been given permission but the dealer hadn't given him a response. This is against the rules so the dealer ultimately killed Farha's hand. Jutte flashed the K♥K♦ before collecting the pot.

Jutte is a player based out of the Pacific Northwest and is known as "The Silent Assassin" in his region. He has Parkinson's and this makes it difficult for him to raise his voice — he speaks in a whisper when he does converse. However, he's no stranger to confrontation on the felt, hence his nickname,

For all of Farha's speech play, Jutte may be one of the most difficult in the field to get a read on as he quietly sits there and grinds on.

"Normally, I get mad when I lose a pot but I like you, I don't want to lose you", Farha said as the dealer started to pitch the next hand.
