O'Hara Has Rotten Luck, Then Gets a Knockout

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

A loud commotion was heard coming from Ian O'Hara's table. Will Failla had gone all in with {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on a severe short-stack and was called by O'Hara with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

O'Hara flopped a straight on {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, but the {8-Hearts}{9-Spades} turn and river put a straight on the board and split the pot between the two.

"You deserve a penalty for that," O'Hara joked. "If you win this tournament you owe me $50,000."

O'Hara's bad luck would last just one hand. Daniel Weinman shoved all in for around 100,000 and O'Hara called.

Daniel Weinman: {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Ian O'Hara: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Weinman wouldn't get the same miracle runout as Failla had, as the board came {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to send him to the rail.

"If I had lost that hand I would've demanded an investigation," O'Hara said.
