Wheeler Hits the Flush

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Mike Wheeler
Mike Wheeler

There was over 4,000 in the middle from preflop action with three-way action between an under-the-gun player, Mike Wheeler in early position, and David Blankenship in the cutoff.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades} and action checked to Blankenship, who bet 7000. The under-the-gun player called and Wheeler check-raised to 4,700. Blankenship sent his cards to the muck and the player who was under the gun called.

Action was then heads up to the turn {7-Clubs} and both players checked. The river fell {2-Hearts} and the under-the-gun player checked. Wheeler fired out 3,000 and quickly was called.

Wheeler showed {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a flush and his opponent sent his cards to the muck, earning him the pot with the second nuts to add to his stack, bringing him just shy of three starting stacks within the first 90 minutes of play in the afternoon.
