High Fives for Allan Farber in Huge Pot

Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Allan Farber and two other players saw action explode on a flop of 5?Q?8?. The inevitable end was all three players getting in their stacks and tabling their hands.
Opponent #1: Q?9?
Opponent #2: 8?8?
Allan Farber: 5?5?
It was a set-over-set situation and Farber, who had the big stack, was on the bad end of it. The J? turn gave one of the shorter stacks a straight draw, but Farber found salvation when the dealer delivered the 5? on the river to give him quads, the double knockout, and a huge pot!
