@serwwer Yeah, well Farha sucked out with a 3 outer Ace on the river match 2.

@PLSheffield Yeah, Well Moneymaker sucked out an 8 with his A/8 against A/10 for Farha in the first match, so your logic really does't apply. Farha had A/7 against pocket 8s in the 2nd match for seven outs, which is more than double the three outs Monkeymaker had to draw in the first match, and the three outs that he had to catch with cripple Farha in the 3rd match. The guy is super lucky. Farha had the match won and the redemption in hand and once again, Moneymaker pulls the suckout, as usual

@nick37104 You're right—7 outer; so Moneymaker was lucky. So what? Are you going to force me to say the cliché I really don't want to repeat? Oh well, here it goes, "THAT'S POKER!".

Will never understand the hatred for Moneymaker. He's not an asshole. He's not arrogant. Just a nice, humble guy who had a great run in the 2003 WSOP. Yes, he got lucky here. He got lucky in 2003. People get lucky in poker. What's your point?

@1skullduggery

1-outer?? Try 10! 4 K's, 4 8's, 2 J's.

And yes that was a huge pot. It was for the chip lead with 15 players left.

@nick37104 A7 vs the pocket 8s.. Farha had 5 outs (3 aces 2 7s). And Moneymaker had 2 outs with the J2, but in a headsup situation, it's impossible to fold on the flop when both of your hole cards paired.

It's a lot easier to get away from the A7 that Farha had because an overpair beat him, and there are many possibilities for an overpair to a pair of 7s.

Biggest lucksack piece of shit on earth.

@larrymcg421 He's not a 'hated' player. If he was, he wouldn't be nearly as popular as he is now.

@larrymcg421 you have to be lucky to win the main event, if you could win the main event with only skill, Phill Hellmuth would have won it all. you know that!
