Wheeler Crippled, Barreca Leads

Level 16 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Demetrio Barreca opened to 55,000 and Jason Wheeler three-bet the button, making it 135,000.

Barreca made the call and the two went heads up to a {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. Barreca check-called a 110,000-chip Wheeler bet and the turn came the {k-Hearts}. Both players checked, but on the {2-Spades} river, Barreca shoved in.

Wheeler took his time about it, but eventually made the call with two aces. Barreca turned over the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and his full house was good.

While Barreca moved into the lead, Wheeler was left with just a single 1,000-denomination chip. He turned that into six 1,000-denomination chips making trip threes the next hand, and a hand after that he moved above the one big blind mark making threes full of queens to crack aces. Wheeler is still short, but he's still in.
