Charlie Carrel raised to 22,000 from the hijack and Brian Altman called from the cutoff. Joe McKeehen three-bet to about 60,000 out of the small blind and Ian O’Hara thought for a minute before moving all in out of the big blind.

Carrel and Altman folded before McKeehen snap-called, all in for 275,000. McKeehen tabled AsAh and had O’Hara’s AcQc in terrible shape.

The board ran out Kd6s5sQhKh and the former WSOP Main Event champion doubled up.

Joe McKeehen – 592,000 (74 bb)
Ian O’Hara – 190,000 (23 bb)
