Jason Wheeler Eliminated in 18th Place ($55,560)
Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Larry Quang raised to 1,200,000, and then WSOP bracelet winner Jason Wheeler three-bet to 5,900,000, leaving a 100,000 chip behind.
Action folded to Franco Spitale in the big blind. Spitale, who had Quang and Wheeler covered, peeked down at his cards, and then he moved all in.
Quang quickly got out of the way, and then Wheeler eventually tossed out his remaining chip to put himself at risk.
Jason Wheeler: K♣Q♥ 
Franco Spitale: 10♦10♣
The dealer fanned 5♣3♠5♠ on the board, keeping Spitale in the lead. The 2♥ on the turn didn’t give Wheeler any help, and then the J♦ gave Spitale the winning hand.
Wheeler finished the tournament in 18th place for $55,560.
