	UPF - Amir Vahedi's Mistakes
		2- He is UTG with KJo and raises the pot, Negreanu calls, Amir thinking he raised throws his cards in the direction of the muck, then quickly realizes his mistake and grabs them before the dealer takes them (I dont know if the dealer could anyway b/c the action couldnt get back to Amir).
		The mental mistakes Amir made against Dan Negraunu were surprising.
		But I think it is unfair to criticize his WSOP play against Farha, it was obvious that Amir was playing to come in 1st and not playing to survive or finish in the top 3, ultimately he bluffed and got beat.....
