Jason Wheeler Bubbles the 2014 Master Classics of Poker

While Aviv Meiri was getting knocked out on one table and Joeri van der Sman took a beat from [Removed:17], there was still one more hand being played when hand-for-hand was announced.

Jason Wheeler was on the button with a 47,800 bet out in front of him while Jussi Nevanlinna, a former MCOP runner-up in the big blind, had a 22,800 bet before him. The Finn announced all in and the action was put back onto Wheeler. The American was just about to call off his stack when he looked at the clock - there were still 39 players left (NB this was before the exits of Meiri and van der Sman). Wheeler began to count his stack and thought for several minutes as the number of players remaining went down from 39 to 37. A crowd gathered around with several short stacks looking on expectantly.

Finally Wheeler said, "Ok I call."

Nevanlinna:

The board came to make a full house for the Finnish player. There was a countdown, Wheeler had about 180,000 in total but Nevanlinna had roughly 210,000. The American was out, everyone else was in the money and play immediately finished for the day.
