Jason Wheeler has busted players in back-to-back hands. The latest to fall was Dmitry Ponomarev. Wheeler opened from the button with a stack of blue 5,000 chips, roughly 100,000, covering both players in the big blind. Ponomarev put himself at risk, calling off in the small blind.

Wheeler: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}
Ponomarev: {8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and though Wheeler won the flop draw, Ponomarev retook the lead on the turn, only have it stolen away, along with his tournament life, on the river.
