Jason Kang, You're Gonna Go Farha

Sam Farha has been up and down like a yo-yo today, though he has had a big stack for the majority of the afternoon. Now, however, he finds himself on the outside looking in.

He got tangled up with Jason Kang in a heads-up sizable pot. There was already more than 17,000 in the center of the table by the time they made it to the river. The board read {J-Hearts} {2-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. After the fifth street card came off, Kang moved all in with an overbet of 30,000. Farha went deep into the tank before making the call with {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. Kang tabled {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, and his winning pair of queens is good to knock out the accomplished pro.
