Wheeler Picks Off Bluff From Chip Leader
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action folded to Jason Wheeler on the button who opened for 22,000 and only Kenan Taylor made the call in the big blind.
The flop came 8♥7♣5♥ and both players checked their options to the Q♣ turn. Taylor elected to take the lead with a bet of 20,000 and Wheeler came along.
The 6♦ completed the board and Taylor tossed out a bet of 75,000. Wheeler took a few seconds before making the call and Kenan instantly mucked his hand to show he got caught bluffing. Wheeler scooped the pot and is now over the million chip mark.
