High Stakes Poker - Farha's Lucky Cigarette

  Sammy Farha looks like the kind of guy you would find at a high stakes poker game, so it is no surprise to find him playing High Stakes Poker, a show on the Game Show Network where poker pros pay $100k of their own money to play cash poker. Many pros sit down and play, and at the end of the day whatever they have in front of them is theirs to keep.  It was the very last hand of the night when Sammy Farha was dealt cowboys, pocket kings. Unfortunately for him, this was after Barry "Robin Hood of Poker" Greenstein was dealt pocket rockets, pocket aces.  Barry had: ... and raised it to $3,500 pre flop. Sammy had: ... and popped it up to $12,500. Barry did not hesitate when he re-raised it to $50,000, which got Sammy to slow down.  He put his lucky cigarette, which is always unlit, back in his mouth. "Are you kidding me?" he asked, "This is the last hand of the night?" He knew things were going to get crazy.  He thought for a very long time before finally moving all in. Barry called right away. "You have aces, right," asked Sammy, "I know it."  The rest of the table had gotten up to leave, but seeing the action they all returned to their seats to watch. The flop came: ... and Barry's face fell as Sammy's lit up. The turn was: ... and the river: ... and just like that Sammy went from going home broke to picking up $361,800 in cash.
