Garles Calls Correctly; Wheeler Gets There
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tim Garles opened to 2,100 from middle position which saw one player call from the cutoff. In the small blind, Alex Wheeler three-bet to 8,500 and Garles called.
The flop came out Q♥9♥7♦ and Wheeler continued for 7,000 which Garles called.
On the turn 6♣, Wheeler moved all in for 19,000 effective and Garles called for his tournament life.
Tim Garles: 2♣2♥
Alex Wheeler: A♠4♠
Garles' pair of twos was ahead on the queen-high board against Wheeler's ace-high, but the river A♣ gave Wheeler top pair and Garles shook his head as he walked out of the tournament area.
