Amir Vahedi is recognized for his fun attitude at the poker table and his famous Cuban cigars. He was Ben Affleck’s first poker coach, as a gift from Jennifer Lopez.
Remembered for the WSOP final table in 2003. He had a considerable amount of chips until he went up against Sammy Farha in a hand. Farha had a full house and slowplayed it. Vahedi bet into Farha very strong in order to steal the pot but ended up losing a lot of chips.
