O'Hara Begins the Rebuild

Stewart Morrison

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Alexander Greenblatt raised the cutoff to 300,000. A player in the small blind called before Ian O'Hara three-bet to 570,000, leaving just 85,000 behind.

Greenblatt responded by moving all in, forcing the small blind to fold, and when a pay jump looked unlikely for O'Hara, he called.

Ian O'Hara: A♣K♠ All in
Alexander Greenblatt: A♥Q♠

O'Hara had the lead but was wary, having not long ago lost in a similar situation.

No bad beat this time though as the board ran out 3♣4♦K♥5♣3♥, giving O'Hara the double up and some.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action started with Ian O'Hara moving all in on the button for 1,670,000. Sebastian Crane then moved all in from the small blind for a smaller amount, 975,000. Mark Darner then looked down at his hand and immediately called, covering both players.

Sebastian Crane: 6♠6♦ All in
Ian O'Hara: Q♣J♥ All in
Mark Darner: A♦A♥

Darner had two players all in and at risk with the final table looming, and maintained the lead on the 8♣5♣J♦ flop.

However, the Q♥ turn propelled O'Hara into the lead, and when the river peeled the 9♦, this crucial pot was pushed in the direction of O'Hara as Crane headed to the payout desk.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

David McGowan raised preflop to 240,000 under the gun and got a reraise of Ian O'Hara to his left. O'Hara made it to 575,000 and McGowan called.

They both checked the A♣8♥8♣ flop, leading them to the turn. After asking how much O'Hara had behind, McGowan bet 1,100,000, a little less than the amount O'Hara answered.

O'Hara surrendered both his hand and the pot to McGowan.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Travis Hartshorn opened for 240,000 and got two callers in Christopher Puetz on the button and Aram Oganyan in the big blind.

The flop came 3♥8♣Q♣ and after action was passed to him, Hartshorn bet another 380,000 in the pot which Puetz called. Oganyan folded leaving the two men heads-up.

Both players checked the turn A♦. On the river 10♦, Hartshorn checked to Puetz who shoved all-in. Hartshorn went into the tank, taking his time until the break was announced. He started bobbing his head as if it were a clock ticking.

Finally he made the call. He tabled A♣6♠ for top pair but Puetz showed J♣9♣ for a rivered straight. All the players went on break and will return in 15 minutes without Hartshorn.

Player	Chips	Progress
Christopher Puetz	8,980,000 20,000	20,000
Aram Oganyan	3,810,000 235,000	235,000

Action folded back to Linde, who folded.

The very next hand, an undeterred Linde opened again to 320,000. It was the turn of Alexander Greenblatt to three-bet this time, and again Linde folded.
