Smith Doubles Through Wheeler
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 200 ante
The competitors had built a pot of approximately 12,200 on a board that read 7♠8♠3♣4♥ when this hand was picked up.
Jeffrey Smith wanted it all, as he shoved for 15,200 from the hijack. Brent Wheeler went into the tank on the button.
"I don't think you have any of it," said Wheeler before he made the call and put Smith at risk.
Jeffrey Smith: 10♣7♣
Brent Wheeler: A♠Q♦
Smith was ahead with his pair of sevens, but Wheeler still had a chance to claim the pot with an ace or a queen on the river.
Smith dodged disaster when the river came the K♠ to award him the double-up.
