Wheeler Needs the Board to Pair
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The action was caught as three players were looking at a flop of K♣3♣5♣.
Joao Tomas, in the small blind, checked the action to Ramana Epparla, in early position. Epparla bet out 2,500, Jason Wheeler called from the cutoff, as did Tomas.
The J♥ turn saw Tomas check again. Epparla continued for 5,000 and Wheeler clicked it back to 10,500. Tomas cold called and Epparla also came along.
It was three ways to the A♦ river as all three players checked to a showdown. Tomas tabled 10♣9♣ for a flopped flush, Epparla mucked A♦K♦ face up, while Wheeler frustratedly announced "Pair the board one time!" as he flashed 5♠5♥ for a flopped set. Tomas took down this big pot.
