The ESPN Interview with Ciarin O'Leary

In his post-victory interview with ESPN's Norm Chad, Ciarin O'Leary preached patience, which he showed by folding his first 18 hands. But he waited for good hands, and doubled up a few times to get back into it, including a big comeback with pocket nines against pocket kings.

O'Leary also mentioned that he was a big fan of fellow Irishman Dan Harrington, and repeatedly said that patience applies in the long run too -- he has played poker for a long time before reaching this, the pinnacle of his career.
