Van der Swaluw Finds Massive Double as Ho and O'Kane Muck Monsters
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Chong Ho had opened in early position, and Tiaran O'Kane three-bet to 8,500 in the next seat over. Alex van der Swaluw then four-bet all in for 41,800, after which Dara O'Kearney reshoved for 57,700.
Ho let his cards go, later claiming to have pocket queens, and O'Kane folded his A♠K♠ face up as well.
Alex van der Swaluw: 10♦10♣ 
Dara O'Kearney: A♦K♥
A distraught Ho looked on as the 5♥9♣3♣6♦9♦ board did not pair up O'Kearney, meaning the pot would have been his, but was shipped to a jovial Van der Swaluw instead.
"I've been waiting for a hand like this for seven hours. I was happy to get it in," Van der Swaluw stated as he raked in the chips.
