Sam Farha's style to MTTs

After watching ESPN's coverage of the WSOP Main Event and Sam Farha's strategy of seeing as many flops as possible with pairs, connectors, and anything suited, what do you guys think of this strategy in the early stages of MTT? Say, for instance the 10/20,15/30,25/50 level of a PokerStars tournament.

A lot of people say to play as tightly as possible. It seems Sammy wants to gamble with the blinds small in relation to the starting amounts.

Is this a surefire way to lose at MTTs since there are not 2 hour levels and the starting chip stacks aren't at 10,000?

Is it capable of working?
