I think people are really underestimating Sammy Farha. He finished 2nd in the Main Event in 2003. Any acclomplished pro finishing that deep in such minefield pool is a huge feat. He built his empire playing poker since 1990. This isn't by chance or a run of luck.

Yeh, Sammy's 2nd place ME finish was all down to solid play, lol. Have you ever seen Greenstein's website?:

Eight hands before the end of Day 2 in 2003, I drew out on Sammy and he got up from the table. He thought he was busted, but he had 5,000 more than I had. (80,000 was average at that point.) He said, “I’m leaving. I can’t do anything with 5,000.” I said, “Sammy, sit down and take a shot.” Sammy went all-in in the dark on the next two hands and doubled up each time. Of the last eight hands played at our table that night, Sammy was all-in before the flop on seven of them. He ended the second day with 58,000. Of course, Sammy went on to become famous as he cashed out $1.3 million for his second place finish in the event.

Oh, but Chip Reese is an even bigger fish than Sammy, so we can't believe what he says, right? I mean, Chip's selflessly devoted the last 30 years of his life in Vegas as a full-time donator whale.
