Seidel Gets the Double, Wheeler Gets a Warning
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action folded to Erik Seidel who limped in from the small blind. Jeremiah Wheeler then raised to 3,500 in the big blind and Seidel moved all in for 44,800.
Wheeler then turned over his cards and peeked over at Seidel as he considered the decision. The floor had to be called over and Wheeler was put on the clock.
"Imagine trying to do that against Erik to get a read," tablemate Ryan Wolfson said. Wheeler allowed the countdown to nearly reach zero before he called.
Erik Seidel: 5♣5♦ 
Jeremiah Wheeler: K♠Q♠
The board ran out 10♠6♥3♦A♦3♣ and Seidel's pocket fives stayed in the lead to earn him a double up. After the hand, the tournament official alerted Wheeler he would be let off with just a warning for exposing his cards.
