Ian O’Hara raised from the hijack to 150,000, Adam Zeltser moved all in from the cutoff for roughly 2,000,000, and O’Hara called with AhAd.

Zeltser turned over 8s8h, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came As9s5s4h5h — O’Hara flopped a set of aces and Zeltser picked up a flush draw, but O’Hara rivered a full house to win the pot and eliminate Zeltser in 12th place.
