Farha Moves a Piece of the Mountain

[user140525]

Sammy Farha was heads up with chip-monster Filippo Candio on the river of a {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs} board. Candio checked, and Farha bet 40,000. Then Filippo put his chips to work, raising to 130,000. Farha easily called, and Candio moved toward the muck, saying he had five-high. Unfortunately for him, he'd tried to push Farha off of a straight with {j-Clubs} {10-Clubs} . Candio's mountain is now somewhere in the 790,000 range, while Farha is up to 280,000.
