O'Kearney Crippled

We established after the event through the medium of eavesdropping that Dara O'Kearney had raised from the button and then called a reraise from Daniel Pidun in the big blind to see a 
flop when all the chips went in. This was the point at which we arrived tableside, so we witnessed the rest for ourselves.
O'Kearney: 
for an open-ended straight draw
Pidun: a now rather speculative 
-A pause of some minutes while the TV crew did their thing.-
Turn: 
River: 
O'Kearney's straight never came in and Pidun's ace kicker with the two pair on the board was good. He doubled to around 450,000, while O'Kearney was crippled to just 25,000 or so. The table was immediately broken, and Pidun thanked the dealer in Hebrew - who told him, "No problem," also in Hebrew. Most surprising.
