Wheeler Left Short as Scafini Makes Nut Flush
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Lucas Scafini raised from early position and Jason Wheeler put in the three-bet to 2,200 from middle position, which Scafini called.
The flop ran out 4♥9♥K♥. Scafini checked and Wheeler continued for 1,800. Scafini called the bet. The turn was the J♥ and Scafini checked again. With four hearts now on the board, Wheeler bet again for 2,100, only slightly more than his flop bet.
The river was the 7♣ and Scafini checked. Wheeler now had just 8,000 left behind and after thinking it through also opted to check back his hand. Scafini flipped over A♥6♥ for the nut flush, his check on the river an invitation for Wheeler to barrel again.
Wheeler avoided the final bluff, but was left short stacks as Scafini pulled in the pot.
