Strike One for Wheeler
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
Igor Pihela Sr. opened to 2,500. Jason Wheeler three-bet to 8,000 and Pihela Sr. called.
Pihela Sr. open-jammed more than covering the 15,000 Wheeler had behind after the 
came on the flop and Wheeler called.
Igor Pihela Sr.: 
Jason Wheeler: 
Neither player had a pair but Wheeler was ahead with ace-high and a flush draw to straight draw held by Pihela.
The 
on the turn didn't help either player.
However, the 
came on the river to give Pihela Sr. a straight and send Wheeler to the rail.
Wheeler shared that he will get back into the action after a small break. Whether that means during Day 1a or later today during the turbo Day 1b is anyone's guess.
