In that K7 hand, I wonder if Farha would've done exactly the same thing if an ace flopped instead of a king. If he did, there there are a few more favorable scenarios for him, although he had to have put Hellmuth exactly on QQ or JJ to think like that.

Sammy couldn't think that Hellmuth could have had his favourite hand - 99?

If Hellmuth raised big with 99 then Sammy calling with anything and having and 10, Jack, Queen, King or Ace as a scare card to let him bluff Hellmuth out of the pot would probably be +EV.

It could also be that Sammy didn't put Hellmuth on a strong hand because the bet was so big - Phil will often try to trap with a big hand.
