Wheeler Gets it In Early

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Wheeler opened to 35,000, and Gregory Ronaldson three-bet to 85,000 from the small blind. Wheeler considered for just a few seconds, then flicked the call into the pot.

The flop brought {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} {9-Diamonds}, and Wheeler called another 80,000 from Ronaldson. That brought them to the {2-Spades} turn, and Ronaldson loaded another bullet. He made it 180,000, but after some time in the tank, Wheeler moved all in for 275,000 on top, and that sent Ronaldson deep into the tank. Wheeler slid his chips into the middle, then laid his head on the rail to sweat it out. It would be several long minutes before Ronaldson let him off the hook, and the fold has given Wheeler an early chip boost.
