Boujmala Sends Wheeler to the Short Stack
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jason Wheeler raised to 125,000 in the hijack with J♠Xx and Samy Boujmala reraised to 350,000 in the cutoff with A♥A♦. Wheeler stuck in a four-bet to 650,000 and Boujmala just called with his pocket aces.
The flop fell K♣10♦5♠ and Wheeler counted out a bet of 410,000. Boujmala quickly called and the 5♥ paired the board on the turn. Wheeler checked this time and Boujmala checked it back to the 9♠ on the river.
Wheeler checked for the second time and Boujmala announced all in, putting Wheeler to the test for his remaining 920,000 chips. Wheeler burned through some time extensions but eventually laid his hand down.
