Thome Catches Wheeler Making a Move
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Heads-up on a board of 2♣4♥9♥8♥, Julien Thome bet 2,700 from the big blind and Jason Wheeler called in the hijack.
The river was the J♠ and Thome checked to Wheeler who bet 5,000. Thome quickly called and Wheeler instantly mucked his hand, allowing Thome to win the pot without a showdown.
Despite dropping that pot, Wheeler has doubled his stack so far on Day 1a.
