Hand #61: Wheeler Gets There, Has Half the Chips in Play
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Hand 61: Michal Mrakes on the button had 
and made it 250,000. With 
in the small blind, Jason Wheeler three-bet to 680,000. Mrakes called.
The flop came 
and Wheeler bet 560,000. Mrakes called to grow the pot to 2,660,000. The 
on the turn made for a third club and Wheeler, now with a gutshot, bet 920,000. Mrakes called.
A miracle 
on the river made Wheeler a straight and Wheeler shoved for just over pot. Mrakes, with a stack of 4.65 million behind, folded instantly.
