Achour Puts Wheeler To The Test
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with roughly 700,000 in the middle on a completed board showing A♣8♦3♦8♣8♠, Jason Wheeler bet out 50,000 from under the gun.
Maher Achour elected to put in a raise to 425,000 in the cutoff and Wheeler went deep in the tank. After close to a minute of deliberation, Wheeler let his cards go and the pot was sent to Achour without showdown.
