POKER PLAYER PROFILES

Most people became familiar with Farha after his great showing in the 2003 World Series where he finished 2nd only to Chris Moneymaker. Originally from Lebanon, Mr. Farha is now lives in Houston, TX. He won the Pot-Limit Omaha championship at the World Series of Poker in 1996, and also finished third in that same event in 2002. He has career earnings at the World Series of Poker of over $200,000.

Who the hell is "Dave Kaplan"? You mean Gabe Kaplan. Anyway Sammy is awesome. I love watching him play in the high stakes game. "Raisey Daisey" with Q6, off suit LOL! I loved watching Sammy take about $300K from that, donk, Jamie Gold with his aces.
Too bad Sammy actually had a heart and didn't take another $120K from Gold in the hand

Sammy is very sexy January 22, 2007
i have to agree sammy gets me excited. i bet we would make good poker together, just kidding. i dont know who humphrey bogart is. but the important thing is, sammy is sexy.

Sammy is SEXY December 31, 2006
I cringe every time I hear Dave Kaplan describe Sammy as "Humphrey Bogart". Sammy is the reincarnation of George Raft, the famous movie star of the '40's. Watching him is fun and reminds me of the old black and white movies.

Everyone has his limit...Sammy reached his, and could go no farther....He knew he had Moneymaker beat, but no one can go beyond his limit. He is the poster child for all those who crashed at the gates of imortality!

We ARE AT WAR!!!! Sammy is the THE MAN! Everytime I see the replay of that 2003 main event I always hope he'd call Moneymaker's bluff. He should've won that tournament. Maybe he was tired.

this is the year of the pros at the world series. and in this main event you can see who is standing out. a poker pro knows how to adapt. last year was unpresidented in hbutow many people entered. butthis year with 3 day ones, a day two will be like playing in last years. farha is one of the chip leaders now.

wsop updater
July 8, 2005
Nearing the end of day 1B, Sammy is among the chip leaders with 90000. Not a player you wanna see at your table with a big stack of chips. As a side note Moneymaker at last update was still hanging around at 9000. Each orbit now costs 1250 dollars so Moneymaker will need to find some cards and make a move soon.

Farha is a cool cat. I Don't like how he plays I admire it. I play like a sad rock(ultra tight) While Farha likes putting chips in the pot to see the flop. Head up He'd probably take me with his agressive style(not even begining to mention the gap in skill) But whats with the Cigarette? He doesn't actually smoke its all Image!And why do people focus on his Hold Em game? Hes a much mroe dangerous player In Omaha(I'd put him second only to Annie Duke the greatest living Hi/Low player)

I loved when he told Moneymaker lets just throw it all in and see what happens "you might have a better chance" and then said I mean "I might have a better chance" nicely put Sammy. Didn't work out for him but he's one of the best in the game and will be at 3 main event final tables before Moneymaker reaches 1.

Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer are excellent role models to the poker community. They have class and skill and are feared by most of all the top poker players today. They even are famous for their wins at the WSOP and have their website which you see on TV everyday. I feel that all you should respect them and admire their true ability to play cards at such a high caliber. I lso feel that they should have a signing session iwth Greg and Chris before every major tournament. Chris and Greg are NOT lucky...they are extremely skilled.....

ive read this in other poker forums as well..i doubt it is true, as it would have been documented by some poker reporter that was there at the time...there are too many journalists there to not cover a story like that...so until i read it or hear it from a reliable source, it didnt happen

poker rumor or truth?
February 6, 2005
I heard he was kicked out of one of the hosting casinos of the WPO for repeatedly short stacking a pot or cheating a player out of chips and that he was escorted out of the casino by security. I've been told this by people who allege they were there and witnessed the ejection from the casino. Does anyone know if it's true? I also have heard he is somewhat of a hot head.

He is the greatest pot-limit Omaha player in the world, almost by general acclamation. Obviously can play no-limit a bit too, although I can't believe he made a perfect read on Moneymaker's pivotal all-in bluff in the 2003 WSOP and -still- laid down his hand. Also heard a story that Moneymaker, when he got heads up with Farha, offered to split the remaining prize money 50-50 and just play on for the bracelet, but Farha was so sure he was going to outplay and beat Moneymaker that he nixed the deal. Whoops.

I think Sam farha is one of the best poker players out there, because he is very smart, and he has a great pokerface.No one can read him, and he always takes the same time even if he is bluffing or not. Everyone says that he bluffs alot. But Sammy farha doesnt only think of the money, when he plays tournaments he want to play holdem not to play tight like everyone thinks he should do. Thats the different with him, He had fun the whole week in WSOP 2003 and came second. I think that is very strong of him. And Hes Looks doesnt make him a bader pokerplayer if you know what I mean :) He looks like a maffia typ of guy :) and He seems very generous, you must have a personality in Poker, like any other sports..

July 30, 2004
Therefore I felt like I had about a 20% chance to win the whole thing with 45 players left. However, I was dismayed to find out that Sammy Farhad was drawn to my right at the beginning of day 4, not because I fear him at all (although I believe that he is the best pot limit Omaha player in the world), but because he is very-very reckless in no limit Hold'em (by the way, I love Sammy!). Although I expected Farhad to do more damage to himself then to the other great players, I did witness him take out Tony Dee on day 4, when Farhad played Q-J off suit very poorly.Tony had raised it in middle position with Q-10, and Sammy called with Q-J off suit (I hate his call here before the flop). After a flop of Qh-10h-3d, Tony bet out big, and Sammy called (his call here was OK). On fourth street the 6s came off, and now Tony bet out $40,000, and Sammy called (by now, even the spectators in the hand knew Tony had Q-J beat). At this point Sammy cannot beat any hand at all, and he has to know that Tony is going to bet his last $50,000 on the river if he has Q-J beat. I believe that this adds up to an easy fold for Sammy. However, a jack did hit on the river, and Tony bet his last $50,000, and Sammy called and won.This was a pretty brutal way for Tony to go out! Sammy would have only had about $170,000 left if he hadn't hit the jack on the river against Tony-assuming he called the river. In any case, I thought, "Whoa, I didn't like the way Sammy played that hand at all. He will come after me weak soon, and hopefully give me a bunch of chips."

Tournaments... and especially big ones do require luck to win. However, the dead money term exists for a reason. If you don't know what you're doing you don't have any chance at all. The best player doesn't necessarily win but a competent one surely does.

Hey geniuses, check out who just placed 10th at the WSOP Pot limit Omaha tournament...your buddy Chris Moneymaker. I think people need to wake up and realize it's not luck to win this thing, all players need luck, but skill takes it down. Moneymaker recently won another big holdem tournament, and his 10th finish in Omaha also proves he's not a one trick pony. Get a clue haters. Incidentally, Omaha is supposed to be Farha's game but I did not see his name on the money list.

Farha is the man! He is an amazing poker player. Be aware of this dangerous mind-reader. He will take 100,000 in one hand.

Sammy takes my tie for second in favorite players to watch. He is, though, exactly what a poker player should look like. I was glad to see Farha place so high in the 2003 WSoP, but HATED to see him lose to Moneymaker.

my favorite player. so entertaining, and just "looks" like a great poker should look. i like chris moneymaker a lot, and i'm sure he's going to get better and better, but everyone and anyone i know who enjoys hold'em agrees that Sammy was the best player at the table.
