Wheeler Rolls Out
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
In a three-way pot to a flop of K♦5♣2♠, Jason Wheeler checked from the big blind before Robin Sommer bet out 70,000 from early position. Ender Lacin made the call from the cutoff, after which Wheeler decided to risk it all by putting his stack of 425,000 in the middle.
Sommer spent some time in the tank before ultimately folding, but Lacin snap-called to put Wheeler's tournament life at risk.
Jason Wheeler: K♥Q♣
Ender Lacin: 5♠5♦
Wheeler was left to runner-runner outs against the set of Lacin, and when the 3♠ turn appeared, his Eureka Main Event was over. The 9♦ river completed the board as a formality and Wheeler went on his way to the payout desk.
