Eoghan O'Dea Is Eliminated in Sixth Place at World Series of Poker Main Event Final TableO'Dea Earns $1,720,831 |
|
Eoghan O’Dea was one of the favorites entering the 2011 World Series of Poker main event final table, but a series of missteps against Pius Heinz cost him the majority of his stack.
Early on, O’Dea was caught bluffing with ace high against Heinz and his pocket queens. Later it was bad luck that saw him crippled.
O’Dea raised and Ben Lamb moved all in. After a few minutes in the tank, O’Dea called with A
9
, but Lamb was drawing live with his Q 8. The board rolled out J
J 6 4 8
and Lamb doubled up, leaving O’Dea with just 2.6 million in chips.
They went in two hands later from under the gun with Q 6 and was called by Martin Staszko’s 8 8. The board failed to produce a match for his overcard and he was sent to the rail in sixth place.
The 26-year-old Irish pro picked up $1,720,831 for his finish.
