Athanasios Tavlas moved all in from early position for 19,000 and was called by Jason Wheeler two seats across. Players flipped their cards, with Tavlas at risk.
Athanasios Tavlas: A♥Q♦
Jason Wheeler: K♠J♦
The flop came 10♠K♥J♣ to give Wheeler two pair and Tavlas the nut straight. The turn, however, was the K♣, which improved Wheeler's hand to give him a full house as the table let out a collective gasp. The river was the 5♥.
Wheeler won the pot and Tavlas was eliminated from the tournament.
