He has won one ranking title, the 1999 British Open, defeating Anthony Hamilton 9–7 in the final.

He has reached two other major finals, notably the 2001 Masters, where he lost 9–10 to Paul Hunter.
O'Brien was relegated from the professional tour after losing to 15-year-old Welsh amateur Liam Davies in the 2022 World Snooker Championship qualifying rounds.
However, he regained his professional status immediately by coming through Event 1 of the 2022 Q School.
O'Brien announced that he will retire from the professional tour after the 2023–24 season.
O'Brien also came close to winning the Masters title in 2001.
He has reached one further ranking final, and three semi-finals

He narrowly retained his top 16 place for the 2001/2002 season, but dropped out a year later – and then out of the top 32 a year later.
Three further falls down the rankings left him at No. 45, before beginning to recover.
