The Farha Yo-Yo Spins Up

Sammy Farha's still in this year's Main Event but he needed a river two-outer to do it. Farha was all in with {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} against an opponent's {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. Things looked pretty grim for Farha after a flop of {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} and a turn of {K-Diamonds}, but Farha spiked the {7-Spades} on the river to make a set of sevens and overtake his opponent's pair of aces.

"Ooh, good card Sammy," said one of the other players.

"That's not me, is it?" Farha replied with a grin. He's once again sitting behind 40,000 chips.
