Ian O'Hara (Boca Raton, FL) had been navigated a stack below chip average for most of the day, but just picked up a nice pot to pad the numbers.

Isle Poker notable Ian O'Hara (Boca Raton, FL) just got a little boost to his stack, as he held 8♠ 8♣ on a board of Q♥ 6♥ 6♣ 8♦.  After making the full house (and checking), his opponent announced himself all-in for 21,000, with O'Hara quickly making the call.  While his opponent wasn't drawing dead (A♠ Q♠), it would take a miracle on the river for Ian to lose the hand (two outs remained for his adversary).  The river eventually brought a deuce, locking up the hand for O'Hara, who is now sitting with close to double the chip average.

Ian O'Hara - 70,000 (116bb)
