Owen O'Di Aims to Outdo His Father's Poker Legacy at WSOP Final Table
Owen O'Di will start the final table with the second largest stack of 33,925,000 chips. Owen's father, Donnacha O'Di, has made it to the final table twice, finishing 6th in 1983 and 9th in 1991. Donnacha O'Di won his first bracelet in 1998, becoming the first Irishman to do so.
Owen O'Di started playing poker seriously around the age of 16 or 17 after watching Late Night Poker on TV. He won the main event of the ECOOP III series in 2008, earning $315,000. Owen O'Di's key hand during the tournament was against Andrew Hinriksen, where he won a significant pot. Owen O'Di's grandmother, Shawan McKenna, appeared in several popular films, including Doctor Zhivago.
