Rizov Straightens Out Wheeler
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jason Wheeler raised to 45,000 in the hijack. It folded to Miroslav Rizov in the big blind, who opted to defend. Wheeler placed a continuation-bet of 30,000 on the 8♠4♣4♥ flop, which Rizov check-called.
The 5♦ turn was checked by both players, leading to the 10♣ being dropped as the river. Rizov assembled a bet of 155,000, and Wheeler snap-called once his opponent had put it over the line.
Rizov tabled a straight with his 7♥6♣, causing Wheeler to cut out the correct amount from his stack to pay Rizov off.
