Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jason Wheeler raised to 8,500 from middle position and David Vamplew reraised to 19,500 a couple of seats down. Wheeler moved all in and Vamplew called, a crowd gathered and the hand went to showdown with the former EPT London champion the player at risk.

turn and 
river changed nothing and Vamplew scooped a sizeable 200k+ pot to leave Wheeler down to around 30,000.
