Sammy is class. Asked Barry if he wanted to run it twice, Barry declined. He flopped a set and still proceed to ask him again to run it twice, but Barry is old school he always runs it once.

[@mattyg55]

do you actually think he would've ran it twice if Barry said yes? lol He probably would've tried to make some sort of sleezy deal or he was just needling him for saying no to running it twice in the first place (which Barry only runs it once, always).

no thats not true Elmo, because Sam was acting so arrogant at the end, Sheikan (who IS a douche) said "What's with the arrogant attitude, you caught 2 outs, relax", and I don't blame him. Farha was acting kinda douchey there. But then he said "You even slow rolled the guy", which isn't quite true because Farha told Barry he had two kings...but we never really saw them, so Sheikan probably thought revealing them at the end was a slow roll. What Sheikan doesn't realize is Farha never flipped his cards up the whole season, he felt it was bad luck.

[@scottlarrabee9892]

I would always run it twice here because of the nature of the situation. Last hand of the night, it’s just such a brutal spot. Money was getting in no matter who had the aces, so why run it once like I somehow earned this spot by playing well? It’s a total fluke of a hand let it go twice why not.

[@kozysnacker]

Barry's reason for always only running it once was that (back then) he had the bankroll and mental strength to withstand the higher variance, which he viewed as an edge against the competition.

[@adrianbarco3128]

What happened at the end that he told him it was bull shit what he did??

[@VanderTheGreat]

I think the outside player was angry that Sammy was the initial player to go all in; which when called should reveal their hand first. Sammy just sat at the table with his cards face down until all 5 cards were on the board, basically slow rolling poor Barry for almost a quarter of a million dollars.

[@Steijn01]

Yeah gabe is the goat. The coolest sam farha hand on HSP was vs antonius when antonius had J9 vs farhas KQ i think.

That was so damn hilarious

[@ThePranit1234]

As much as I like Gabe, I completely disagree with him here. There are 4 ligitimate hands that Barry can have (AA, KK, QQ, AKs). There is also a slight chance that Barry is making a move. Sammy's all in was a very standard play, especially considering that this a cash game. If anything, I think he acted the way he did to undersell his hand (getting Barry to believe that he has QQ). He wanted Barry to call with a QQ/AKs.

[@ihatechaucer4413]

I don’t think so. This was the last hand of the night. Plus in the second to last hand, which was also part of this broadcast, it was noted that all the players looked extremely tired and none of them were really willing to give any action. It’s the nature of that situation that makes it extremely difficult to believe that Barry would make a move here. Seems like he would just call with anything less than QQ, and with how much he raised really tilted his range to AA. It’s possible due to everyone else being tired and much more willing to fold Barry could get away with a bluff, but this is also Sammy Farha. On another episode he snap called a $500k all in with just a flush draw.

Here's a great reason to make sure people know you never win it more than once. Running it twice allows players to ship it more lightly, making it harder for you. If people know you never run it twice, it makes them think before just throwing it all in on a marginal race.

Looking back at this hand, I really think Sammy should have found a fold.
