Wheatley Flops A Straight to Spin
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ryan Brauer raised to 7,000 and Russel Wheatley then jammed for the last 12,000 in the next seat. Darren Kramer reraised to 30,000 and it forced out everyone else including Brauer.
"You are way ahead," Wheatley said as he tabled the 6♦4♦. Kramer had the 5QcQd] but the table burst into laughter when the 7♠5♥3♣ flop provided Wheatley with a straight. No upset followed with the 10♥ turn and 2♦ river for Wheatley to stay in contention.
One table over, Saurabh Gulati tangled with Dhinesh Soopramanien on the 9♥8♥3♦ flop. The former bet 16,000 and the latter raised to 50,000 on the button, forcing out Didier Mery. Gulati tank-folded and exposed the 9♣, Soopramanien allowed him to show the A♥3♥ for bottom pair and nut flush draw.
