Sam Farha vs Patrik Antonius – $1 Million Pot
This hand comes from the fourth series of High Stakes Poker. Everyone’s stack is deep, and with the blinds at $300/$400 and a $1200 forced straddle, Sammy Farha opens for $4,200 with K-Q of diamonds from the hijack. Antonius, on the button, reraises with J9 of hearts and Sam calls.
Chris Moneymaker Best Bluff
This bluff, heads up at the final table of the 2025 WSOP main event was truly remarkable. Talk about putting the pressure on your opponent, Farha had the best hand from the flop yet Moneymaker bluffed his way into winning the pot, and of course goingon to make history as the first ever player to win the WSOP $10,000 main event via an Internet satallite.
