Ian O'Hara Eliminated in 20th Place ($26,070)

Level 30
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Within two hands, the stack of Ian O'Hara has melted to zero and the chips went to Randy Pfeifer and Vlad Darie.
Hand #1:
Picking up the action on the turn, Pfeifer checked out of the big blind and O'Hara bet 300 from the cutoff. Pfeifer check-raised to 700,000 and O'Hara called. On the
river, Pfeifer bet 1,125,000 and O'Hara reluctantly called, then mucked when he was shown
for trips jacks by Pfeifer.
Hand #2:
Down to 23 big blinds, O'Hara faced a raise by table neighbor Vlad Darie and three-bet all in with pocket nines. Darie called with and flopped a jack, making the nine on the river a cruel formality.
O'Hara, who started the day in the lead, had to settle for a disappointing 20th place and payday of $26,070.
