Sammy Farha is My Hero

Most of you know that the WSOP just started a few days ago; tournaments, huge fields, and the dream of winning a bracelet alive in thousands. While the WSOP is fantastic tournament, I personally don't think it is nearly as exciting as the heads up match going on right between Brian Townsend and Sammy Farha.

Brian has been updating his blog daily and the stakes are in one word, insane. They have each put up 500k (not including rebuys) and are exchanging blows winning and losing six figure pots. At one point in the match Sammy wanted to flip for 470k, here is an copy from Brians blog:

"Then he took all the money he had in front of him, 470K, and said lets flip you only have to put up 450K. I thought a bit and would have accepted if I could easily get more money to Vegas to replace the loss, but I couldn't so I declined."

Sammy Farha, you sir are my new hero. You have juevos the size of watermelons!
