Wheeler Takes it on the Turn
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jason Wheeler raised 10,000 under the gun, and both Laurence Stein and Alexandru Veres came along in the blinds.
The dealer spread a flop of 10?9?2?, and all three players checked to see the 7? turn.
Once checked to, Wheeler stacked up a bet of 47,500 and pushed it across the line, leaving just 8,000 behind. Stein went into the tank for about a minute before mucking his hand, and Veres followed suit.
A conversation followed with Stein and Wheeler going back and forth about their hands. Stein revealed he had pocket eights, while Wheeler said he was the mathematical favorite to win.
