On the first hand back from break, Lou Ojeda open-shoved for 245,000 from under the gun and it folded to Chris O’Hara in the big blind.

“We get so sweat it together,” O’Hara said to Ojeda. They both checked the cards; O’Hara shrugged and called.

O’Hara: 8c8s
Ojeda: Ad5s

O’Hara was ahead with the eights and Ojeda needed help to stay in the Championship. The flop came 8d5d5h to give trip fives to Ojeda but O’Hara flopped the boat. The board finished 2d and 4c and Ojeda was eliminated in 32nd place.
