When the son of actress Goldie Hawn, Oliver Hudson, paid $10,000 to play in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event, he will never have thought he would last just a single hand in the tournament but that is exactly what happened when he butted heads with Sammy Farha.
The extremely aggressive Farha made it 200 to go with Ah Td and the action folded around to Hudson, who made it an extra 450 to play. Farha called. A flop of Ac Ad Th gave both players a full house, but Farha's was better being Aces full of tens compared to the tens full of aces held by Hudson. Both players opted to slowplay their hands and checked but the arrival of the Queen of spades on the turn ignited the fuse. Hudson bet 300, Farha raised to 1,300, Hudson shoved all-in and Farha immediately calls.
