The “call” wasn’t what Phil wanted to hear […]

I love this guy — he talks about High Stakes Poker, but also about ‘playing the players’ and what playing solid means to a poker pro like Sammy Farha. Sammy is a high-action player, but he’s also a great sport. Excellent interview, he shows he knows what he’s doing here!
