Blankenship Gives Wheeler the Pile

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
David Blankenship

There was over 8,000 in the middle on a flop reading {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and action was heads up between Mike Wheeler in the small blind and David Blankenship, who was in early position. Wheeler had check-raised a bet of 2,100 from Blankenship and pumped it up to 7,100 to put action back on Blankenship.

"I'm all in," said Blankenship, standing up upon his announcement. He began to get a little animated once Wheeler did not immediately call, and after about 15 seconds of poking some fun at Wheeler received a fold.

"I thought they were good but they were not good," said Wheeler. Blankenship confirmed that Wheeler's hand was no good as the pot was sent his way.
