Final Table Bios: Seat 3, Sam Farha (374,500)

[user25067]

With his iconic shades, flashy silk shirts and his signature unlit cigarette often hanging from his mouth, Sam Farha is a high-stakes cash game legend who burst into the public eye when he finished second to Chris Moneymaker in the 2003 WSOP Main Event. Farha won his second WSOP bracelet three years later, when he beat Phil Ivey heads up to take down the $5,000 Omaha hi-lo World Championship and $400,000. Farha was also a regular on the GSN television series "High Stakes Poker," where he won one of the show's largest pots ever when his pocket kings flopped a set against Barry Greenstein's pocket aces, earning him nearly $362,000 from a single hand. Farha plays a lighter tournament schedule than most of his contemporaries, preferring to flex his muscles in nosebleed-stakes pot-limit Omaha cash games. This is his sixth WSOP cash and his fifth final table.
