Jason Wheeler

Yuliyan Kolev opened under the gun for 22,000 and Aleksandr Orlov two positions down shoved for 121,000. The action folded to Jason Wheeler in the big blind who asked how much it was and then studied Kolev. Wheeler eventually announced all in, Kolev snap called for 260,000 total.

Yuliyan Kolev: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Aleksandr Orlov: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Jason Wheeler: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Wheeler knocked out two opponents in one hand. As the table was getting broken, he racked up 930,000.

The Last 1,000

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Barriocanal opened for 21,000 and Alexandr Resko put in 48,000 on the button, all but his last 1,000. They each checked the flop — Barriocanal dark.

"Careful, there's a pay jump soon," he warned.

The board read {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds} on the turn and Barriocanal flicked in the last 1,000 after having told Resko he had ace-queen.

"Ace-queen, really?" Resko said. "I am dead. I have ace-nine."

"You have to call, then."

Indeed, Resko did call and show {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Barriocanal had {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a gutter. He missed on the {8-Clubs} river.

"Why do you lie?" Resko said. "This is not nice."

Mooney Doubles

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From the hijack, John Mooney shoved for 112,000. Omid Mojaverian called from the small blind and the big blind went deep into the tank. After some minutes, Louis Salter asked for the clock but the dealer didn't oblige as he found the big blind hadn't taken too long just yet. The big blind folded shortly after.

John Mooney: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Omid Mojaverian: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Mooney got up from the table and didn't sit back down just yet when the flop came {2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn was the wrong kind of red card but the {9-Hearts} on the river did help. Mooney took his seat again, Mojaverian just sighed.
