Team Wheeler Eliminated in 6th Place ($36,282)
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Two adversaries at the final table clashed and one of the team’s run would end.
Jason Wheeler moved all in with his remaining 1,750,000 and action folded to Richard Ali, who immediately called to put Wheeler at risk.
The two exchanged pleasantries earlier at the final table, and this showdown had an edge, especially when Ali jumped up when he saw Wheeler’s tabled hand.
Jason Wheeler: A♦Q♣ 
Richard Ali: Q♦Q♠
“Ladies!” Ali exclaimed to the delight of his rail.
The dealer fanned 6♣A♣Q♥ on the flop, giving Ali middle set and a firm grip on the hand. The J♣ on the turn opened a flush possibility for Wheeler, but 9♦ on the river ended Team Wheeler’s run in sixth place.
