Sam Farha, Raisy Daisy!
Thursday, May 7th, 2009
Sam Farha is a highly skilled poker player who originally hails from Lebanon. However, Sam moved to the United States in the 1970′s and by the year 1990 was making enough money from playing poker that he quit his job. The World Series of Poker has been the best moneymaker for Sam Farha to date. Sam nearly won it all in 2003, but was defeated by Chris Moneymaker. Sam Farha did still win a substantial sum in the 2003 matchup, and also came back in the 2005 World Series of Poker to win even more money.
“Luck is Not Enough” is the title that Sam is going to be using for his book about how to play poker. Sam also has several other engagements including being a spokesman for Harrah’s casino in Las Vegas and being on a poker playing show on the Game Show Network called High Stakes Poker. While Sam is not officially related to any poker room, Poker Stars was kind enough to setup a rematch between Moneymaker and Farha. Farha did win the rematch, however, he was not awarded any money.
