Ian O'Hara (Boca Raton, FL) 

Ian O'Hara (Boca Raton, FL) is another player from the "big game" that just entered the Flight 1A field, showing up just before the first break of the day (which just occurred after Level 3).  O'Hara broke-out on the Florida poker scene in 2012, and quickly became a name known across the country.  Ian's first ever recorded tournament win came here at the Isle in 2012, when he won first place money in a $400 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD) event in June.

O'Hara went on accumulate tournament earnings over $1,783,000, including a runner-up finish in the $25,000 High Roller during the 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open ($527,313).  While his accomplishments at the poker table are impressive, it's a recent "life change" that has player's looking at him different (in the literal sense).  In December of last year, O'Hara began to focus on his health, which included changing his diet and working out.  Since his peak, Ian has lost over (60) pounds, and continues to live that healthy lifestyle.

O'Hara had seven cashes in this year's WSOP, but his summer was highlighted by a fourth place finish in a $24,000 High Roller at the Aria in June ($75,600).  Ian's last tournament win came in September of last year (Coco Poker Showdown Main Event), and while he's won event in almost every major poker room in Florida, he wouldn't mind adding another piece of hardware from his "home" poker room.
