Sam Farha: A Consistent Competitor in High Stakes Poker Seasons 1 to 4

Also known as 'Mister Cool,' Sam Farha has been a consistent competitor in the televised series High stakes poker, joining every one of its four seasons. Aside from his reputation as a cool dude when it comes to competing on top of the poker table, he was still able to manage to score huge victories in major poker events like the World Series of Poker as well as the World Poker Tour. Because of these impressive achievements, Farha has become one of the most respectable players of the game in recent years.

So far, Farha has attained an impressive status in the World Series of Poker, winning a couple of championship bracelets that earned him the respect of the entire poker world. Although he can play different variations of poker, he excels more in the Omaha version of the game. His first championship came in 1996, when he won the $2,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event, where he took home the prize money of $145,000. His second championship bracelet came via a win in 2006, where he totally dominated the $5,000 Limit Omaha 8 or Better event, earning him a total of $398,560.

Besides his two World Series of Poker championship bracelets, the greatest achievement recorded by Farha was established in 2003, where he reached the final table event with his heads-up play and highly efficient strategies. However, Farha finished a little bit short, losing only to the eventual champion Chris Moneymaker, while still taking home a grand $1.3 million for finishing second overall. Furthermore, he was also on the winning track in 2005, where he once again reached the main event of the World Series of Poker. Overall, Farha has already made five money finishes.

On the other hand, Farha is a little less impressive about his achievements in the World Poker Tour. So far, he has yet to score any major title and he has yet to reach a final table, making him one of the most underrated players of the game in recent years. Meanwhile, Farha has already earned three money finishes, giving him a spark of hope that he would somehow make it big in the tour someday. According to reliable poker observers, his winnings are already estimated to go beyond the $2 million-mark, giving him the right to be called a certified winning player of the game.

Besides the World Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker, Farha is right on track to win more games and more money when he joined each of the four seasons of High Stakes Poker. His brand of play and quest for higher risks perfectly mix well in this ring game format. After his impressive performances in all those seasons, expect him to return in the future seasons of this televised poker series.
