Burkholder Snatches Chips with a Wheel

There was already about 30,000 chips in the middle on the flop of {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Steven Burkholder was up first and checked. His opponent bet 11,000 before Burkholder raised to 25,000. His opponent made the call.

The turn card brought the {10-Clubs} and Burkholder bet 25,000. His opponent called again.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and Burkholder fired a big bet of 100,000. His opponent tank-called for his last 80,000 chips with the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Top two pair wasn't good though as Burkholder tabled the {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a wheel.

Burkholder's now up to nearly 550,000 in chips.
