Jason Wheeler

Jason Wheeler bet 450,000 on a flop of {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

and Tony Veckey made the call.

Wheeler bet another 1,200,000 on the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

turn and Veckey moved all in, having connected with his gutshot straight draw. Wheeler called and we saw the hands:

Veckey: {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

Wheeler:

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

The

{Q-Diamonds}

on the river gave Wheeler trips, but they weren't enough to best Veckey's straight. Wheeler left in second place with $418,122.
