Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Guy Bachar and Jason Wheeler are butting heads at their table. One is chips leader and the other wants to be.
There was an open to 1,000 from Ravi Raghavan that Bachar treated to a three-bet to 2,300. Wheeler was in the big blind ans quickly put in a four-bet to 4,000. Raghavan folded but Bachar called to see a 
flop appear.
Wheeler continued for 4,525 and and Bachar called to the 
turn. Wheeler reached for more chips, actually all 24,000 of his remaining chips, and threw them across the invisible line. Bachar snap folded.
Bachar didn't leave it at that though and came with a needle, "Now you feel so good about yourself, hero!"
"You would think I was a hero if you saw my cards!" came Wheeler's retort.
