Default interesting AA vs KK for ya

A hand from poker history.

Sammy Farha -vs- Barry Greenstein
The very last hand of the night on High Stakes Poker, these two powerhouse players picked up the two best starting hands possible. All the other players were packing up and heading for the door, but stopped to check out the oncoming brutality this hand was sure to bring.

Farha put in a standard, non-commital raise, which Greenstein then bumped up by $50,000. Such a raise indicates the rockets right away, but Farha couldn't get away and moved all in. Greenstein insta-called.

Farha proposed running the entire five-card board out twice, but Greenstein declined. The flop was a disaster - a King hit, turning Greenstein's overwhelming odds against him. Farha again offered to run the turn and river twice, but Greenstein again declined. No help came, and Sammy Farha raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars on the final hand of the night. Greenstein was silent, although it would have been a bit more fun to see a reaction of Hellmuthian proportions!


P.S: this is copy and paste from an e-mail i got from carbon poker
