Sam Farha

Professional Poker Player and Speaker Sam Farha

Armed with his lucky cigarette and great game, Sam Farha is one of poker's most well-known players. Sam Farha first gained national notoriety when he finished second to Chris Moneymaker in the 2003 World Series of Poker, but before that he was known as one of the premier Pot-Limit Omaha players by his peers.

Lebanon-born Sam Farha was always great at games of skill such as pool, Pac-Man and ultimately poker. Sam's aggressive and unpredictable plays make him tough to read. Combine that with his suave table image, table talk, and hand-reading ability, you have yourself one of the world's best. Despite not taking home the bracelet in 2003, Sam Farha does have one bracelet to his name from the 1996 WSOP Pot-Limit Omaha, and he looks to add more accomplishments to his name.
