What's a Wheel Werthmann?

Barry Werthmann opened the pot with a raise from middle position, and both Jim Geary and Sam Farha called from the blinds.

The flop came out {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. The blinds checked, then both called when Werthmann made a bet. The turn card was the {4-Spades}, and the action repeated with each player putting in a single big bet. The {3-Clubs} fell on the river, and Geary took control of the pot with a leading bet. Farha called, and Werthmann put his last 500 chips into the pot, calling all in.

Geary tabled {2-Spades} {4-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Hearts}, with Farha showing {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. Both players had run down their wheels on fifth street, making the nut low as well. Werthmann flashed a {2-?} {6-?} as he slipped his cards into the muck and headed toward the rail.
