O'Hara Gives Up on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ian O'Hara raised it up in middle position and Jack Hardcastle just called from the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of K♠Q♠2♣ and O'Hara continued with a bet of 18,000, which Hardcastle called.
The turn was the 3♥ and O'Hara sized up a bet of 52,000 this time. Hardcastle still called and the 9♦ completed the board. O'Hara opted to check this time and Hardcastle quickly knuckled it back. O'Hara tabled A♠8♠ for a missed flush draw and Hardcastle showed A♦Q♦ for the lone pair.
