€6,000 High Roller: Jason Wheeler Wins the WPT Amsterdam High Roller (€125,000)

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Jason Wheeler and Bryn Kenney
Jason Wheeler and Bryn Kenney

It wasn't a long Day 3, and not a lot of hands were played, but Jason Wheeler pretty much won all of them. In the last hand, Jack Salter was down to 545,000 and he open-shoved from the button. Wheeler made the call.

Jason Wheeler: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Jack Salter: {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Wheeler's good friend Bryn Kenney leaned over, and Wheeler announced what the situation was. "Threes against king-seven," he said.

Wheeler made a small fist pump when the flop was spread {3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, but he wasn't out of the woods just yet.

"A four would be a fun card" Salter said.

The {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn and Salter already put down his head a little. The {8-Clubs} on the river was a blank, and Wheeler and Salter shook hands.

Salter congratulated Wheeler, with the latter elated to finally win in Holland.

"Finally get that trophy in Amsterdam!" he exclaimed.

Wheeler took home €125,000, and Salter got €90,000 for his runner-up finish. Wheeler told the tournament organization he plans on entering the Main Event later today, but first he's going to hang out with Kenney on this beautiful day in the city.
