Sammy Farha Reportedly Banned After Alleged Dealer Assault
Sammy Farha has reportedly been barred for life from Houston Social Cardroom following an alleged assault on dealer Doug Caillier, according to an October 23 report by PokerNews.
Jon Sofen’s report, citing multiple people present, says Caillier received emergency-room treatment for minor injuries and was released. PokerNews also reports that a police report was filed.
The reported confrontation
The publication describes a dispute during a pot-limit Omaha game. Its sources allege Farha struck Caillier in the chest after arguing with him over the handling of cards. Caillier reportedly walked away rather than retaliating.
What remains unverified
Angry Aces has not independently obtained the police report or verified any arrest or charging decision. The allegations and reported club ban should not be treated as a criminal conviction.
No verified public response from Farha was located in the sources reviewed for this article. Houston Social’s public website did not carry an incident statement, and the Houston Police Department’s news-release index had no matching announcement when checked. That absence does not establish whether a case or charges exist.
The exact incident date is being withheld because the source report gives conflicting calendar references. This initial account will be updated at the same URL when material details or a response can be verified.
