O'Leary So Near-y

One of the unfortunates who will not be making the money is pink-haired Brit Kevin O'Leary. He raised all in for a mere 500 over the existing bet on a {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} flop and got two callers; he was already putting his coat on.

Both players checked the {A-Clubs} turn and come the {9-Clubs} river Stuart Marshak bet out 10,400. His opponent called, but mucked when Marshak turned over {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} for the flopped straight. O'Leary mucked too and headed for the door, leaving behind his giraffe shaped cocktail-stirrer-cum-card-protector. Marshak is up to a shade over 100,000.
