2^nd Place WSOP 2003

Of course, some of the better-known players made it to the final table, such as third-place finisher Dan Harrington, the 1995 world champion, who began with one of the shorter stacks at the final table and made a serious run for the title. Dan is not known for his wild gambling, and this might have contributed to his ultimate survival. Another well-known high-stakes player, Sam Farha, whose style is quite a bit different from Harrington's, came in second. Sam is well-known by players in the biggest games. Although not known as a strong tournament player, Sam's aggressive style sneaked up on lots of players. He deserves a lot of credit for snapping off bluffs with marginal hands, displaying his excellent reading skills and showing once again that relatively inexperienced tournament players can often play the game much better than their more experienced and famous opponents give them credit.
