Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Diarmuid O'Kane
Diarmuid O'Kane

Diarmuid O'Kane raised from the cutoff and was called by Matt Pongrass on the button.

The flop came {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and O'Kane continued with a bet. Pongrass called.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and O'Kane checked. Pongrass bet. O'Kane min-raised back. Pongrass called.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the board and O'Kane immediately moved all in for 370,500 sending Pongrass into the tank.

"This is a fun one," announced Pongrass.

"Do you want me to call?" he added. O'Kane sat motionless and just smiled back.

"You went all in so quickly," continued Pongrass. "I just don't know my friend," finished Pongrass.

An additional minute passed before Pongrass made the call.

O'Kane confidently tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, and took down the pot, after Pongrass mucked his hand.

"I had kings," confirmed Pongrass after the hand.
