O'Hara Goes For It, But Gets Left on Fumes by Vieira
Level 16
Badugi
Picking action up on the first betting round, Joao Vieira checked in the cutoff, then called a bet from Ian O'Hara on the button.
Vieira drew one card while O'Hara patted.
Vieira then checked to O'Hara again, but this time after O'Hara bet, Vieira responded with a check-raise.
O'Hara then put in a third bet, which Vieira called.
Vieira patted his hand, as did O'Hara.
Once more Vieira checked, and O'Hara bet a final time, and was called by Vieira.
Vieira showed 
. O'Hara grinned and flashed four hearts nine or below for an audacious bluff then tossed them into the muck, leaving him with just 6,000 chips.
However, in a pair of recent Badugi hands, he's managed to double up twice, but is still on the shortest stack in the room.
