Wheeler Gone

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jason Wheeler worked on a miracle after dropping down to 7,000 and then getting as high as 120,000. He was down to 70,000 again though in the last hand before the break and lost a coinflip with {A-}{K-} against the pocket tens of Roberto Romanello. The Welshman spiked a ten on the flop, Wheeler an ace on flop and river. We will see the online grinder shortly back in the €2k Side Event though.
