Wheeler Finds Too Many Outs to Miss

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Mike Wheeler was involved in a heads-up pot with a little over 11,000 in the middle on a flop reading {10-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. His opponent checked in early position and he shoved for 18,400 in the hijack. After some time, his opponent found a call.

Mike Wheeler: {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Early Position: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

"Twelve outs times two," said Wheeler as he tabled his hand. He then repeated it as the turn {8-Hearts} left him with one shot at staying alive. The river {4-Clubs} fell in his favor, completing the flush and earning a celebratory fist pump as a result.

"It was actually 11 outs," said the player on Wheeler's left with a smile due to Wheeler's opponent holding a jack.

"Eleven, yes," confirmed Wheeler as the pot was shipped his way.
