sammy farha wins 700k on hsp?
 
a relatively unsubstantiated source just told me that a big name player claimed that sammy farha won 700k on hsp. sorry for making another thread but it didnt seem right to make it the 70th reply of another thread since its pretty major gossip.

I am pretty sure that whoever said this information also said not to say a word about it. I know all about yesterdays game but not allowed to talk about it.

I dont know if it has been posted on 2+2 but Benyamine claimed to another french pro 2 weeks ago that Farha was up at least 15M in the big game over the last 6 months.

I guess benyamine is pretty aware of the winnings of farha as they play the same games.
Also, the writer of the blog is a famous french poker player, and i actually believe what he says here, cause he really know benyamine.

The best description of a poker hand ever?

Google translation

20h00. With me to play. I have a place in a “normal” part of No Limit, with the tariff already more than sizeable. Blinds 5-10$, cellar with 1000$ maximum. 10 players. I sit down with the head office N°5 and on the first blow, I raise

To4

I pay 10$ and we are 4 players in the blow, without revival. Everyone has between 500$ and 1500$, except the player of Small Blind which has an enormous carpet, in the 7000$. Detail which has its importance because a gaining player feels in confidence and is increasingly more active.


A large carpet which is not there to joke…

The Failure: To93

I am the last with speaking and everyone checke until me. I setting 30$ in a pot of 40$.

Small Blind (the large carpet) Pay, the BB passes and last Paye.

Turn: 6

A chart which, apparently, does not change anything. Small Blind put 70$ and the following Pass. With me. I reflect because this setting seems to me curious on behalf of a player who did not attack the Failure and did not start again either.

I conclude that it is about a “Blocking Study Bureau”, a rather traditional operation when one has an average play or a pulling and that one wants at the same time to know “where one is” and to avoid a large revival. I see it either on a pair of Ace with a weak kicker, or with a pulling color in Coeur, the possibility that this 6 in Turn gave him in more one pair or a pulling fifth. Hands like 45, 67 or 78 seem most probable to me. In which case I am rather largely favorite. Considering the context, I do not think that it can have two pairs Have or a brelan.

I must thus start again. I say 240$.

It examines the situation and IT STARTS AGAIN ME A ITS TURN: 440$ in all. My first impression is to say to me that I am C… and that I fell on a large play.

I take my time. I observe it. And finally, I think that it is in semi-bluff. Bus if not, with the many possibilities of pulling, why it would not have done me Tapis when it would less remain me than 500$ behind if I paid his on-revival! Not, definitely, all that does not seem to me to stick with a large play at his place. I remain on my “reading” of the blow and I SAY CARPET!

I am not very proud because, after all, I do not have that a thin pair of Ace with an unimportant kicker, but good, it should sometimes be trusted each other when one thinks well of having analyzed a blow.

I start to be reassured when I see it making a grimace, to hesitate and finally PAY.

To rivet: V

It is with him to show the charts but obviously, it does not want of it. I thus show my pair of Ace and it throws its charts towards the croupier while launching me: “Nice Hand” of a strangled voice, but it is the use with US when a blow was lost. I will thus know never exactly what it had but WOW! I am super content. And in more the other players of the table look at me differently…

I thus more than doubled my carpet on the first blow.
