Ian O’Hara

Ian O’Hara moved all in on the button for 182,000 and Joe McKeehen called out of the big blind.

O’Hara showed Td8d and needed some help against McKeehen’s Ah3c.

“It’s a virtual flip,” said McKeehen before the flop was dealt.

The flop was Js6s5h, keeping McKeehen in the lead.

“It’s less of a flip now,” said McKeehen.

The turn was the 3s and the river was the Kh. O’Hara was eliminated in third place for $46,330. McKeehen won the pot and will go heads-up against Sean Perry for the title.

Joe McKeehen – 1,300,000 (54 bb)
