Ian O'Hara might not be a name recognized by most of the poker community yet, but he's off to a hot start today in Event #59: $2,500 Big Bet Mix, having already doubled his starting stack.

In a recent hand, a player opened under the gun to 250. O'Hara called on the button. Brian Rast called from the small blind and the big blind called as well. Action checked to O'Hara on the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and he bet 1,075. The big blind reraised to 3,475. O'Hara plopped in a stack of chips and the big blind moved all in. O'Hara called.

O'Hara: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Big blind: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and that left the big blind drawing to just one out to make a royal flush, but the {3-Diamonds} river would lock up the pot for O'Hara.

O'Hara has already cashed five times this series, bringing home some profit in Events #54, #47, #43, 339, and #20, and with a hot start today, he may be able to lock up a sixth cash in this event as well.
