Wheeler Spinning His Wheels

With 500 in the pot and a flop of {4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Tony Chang checked from the big blind and watched Jason Wheeler toss out a purple T500 chip. Chang made the call and then checked for a second time on the {10-Clubs} turn. Wheeler put out another bet, this time 900, and it was enough to get the job done as Chang chucked his cards.

Despite that small win, Wheeler is still down quite a bit from the starting stack of 30,000.

Quack, Quack for Ktorza

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jason Wheeler raised to 500 from early position and received a call from Gani Jahaj in middle position. The small blind came along, as did Philippe Ktorza in the big, and it was four-way action to the {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} flop.

Two checks put action back on Wheeler and he continuation bet 900. Only Jahaj and Ktorza called, and three players saw the {K-Hearts} turn. Two more checks saw Jahaj bet 1,225, Ktorza raise to 2,500 and Wheeler fold. Jahaj made the call and then called a bet of 3,100 when Ktorza led out on the {5-Diamonds} river.

Ktorza tabled {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for deuces full of fives, and it was good as Jahaj mucked his cards and dropped down to 40,000. Meanwhile, Ktorza is up to 50,000.

Hachem On The Comeback

Action folded around to the player in the cutoff and he made it 450 to go. The 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Hachem three-bet to 1,025 from the button. Action folded back to his sole opponent and he called. After his opponent checked, Hachem c-bet the {K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop with a bet of 1,800. Hachem's opponent mucked and Hachem took down the pot.

More for McDonald

Finland's Kimmo Kurko opened the hand with a raise to 425 in the middle position. Action folded to Mike "Timex" McDonald in the small blind and he made the call. Team PokerStars Pro Ana Marquez also called in the big blind and they went three-handed into the flop.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, and Kurko continued with a bet of 550. McDonald answered with a call while Marquez folded her hand. McDonald checked when the {A-Hearts} rolled over on the turn and Kurko did the same.

McDonald then showed some initiative by betting 2,225 on the {2-Hearts} river which payed off as Kurko folded his cards giving the pot away to McDonald.
