Wheeler Wins a Flip the Hard Way
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Kuljinder Sidhu raised to 125,000 under the gun and Pedro Lourenco called on the button. Jason Wheeler then moved all in for 1,250,000 in the big blind, Sidhu reshoved, and Lourenco folded.
Jason Wheeler: J♦J♥ 
Kuljinder Sidhu: A♠K♣
The flop came 10♣9♥K♠ to give Sidhu the lead with a pair of kings, but Wheeler spiked the Q♥ on the turn to make a straight. The river was the 6♠ and Wheeler earned an early double up.
