Jason Wheeler opened for 2,700 and face a three-bet from his neighbor Sergey Isupov to 7,500. The blinds folded and action was back on Wheeler.
Close to five minutes ticked by as Wheeler jiggled his leg restlessly and the table awaited his decision. Wheeler then cut out a bet and raised to 17,500.
I was Isupov’s turn to decode the bet but he had one last look at his cards and let it go.
“You three bet me too much,” Wheeler told Isupov. “I give you the first three, I don’t give you any more. I’m not the Bank of America.”
