Wheeler Busts Early
About 4,000 was in the middle in a three-way pot when Tiberiu-Onut Panainte fired out a bet of 3,600 from the small blind on 8♣3♣10♥ and was called by Jason Wheeler and Anatoly Chen.
On the 5♠ turn Panainte was not deterred by two callers, sliding forward another bet of 8,600. Wheeler again made the call. Action folded to Chen who looked bemused, pondered his options, but also eventually called.
The 10♠ rolled off on the river to pair the board and that slowed Panainte down, who checked his option.
Wheeler pondered for a moment before moving the rest of his chips into the middle, around 16,000. Chen folded quickly and Panainte made the quick call.
Wheeler turned over A♣7♣ for the ace-high bricked flush draw, the chunky pot being too juicy for Wheeler to check, while Panainte had K♣K♦, and the cowboys sent him a monster early pot.
