Wheeler and Hoang Both Ascend Rapidly
Terry Wheeler was just spotted with a mountain of chips and confirmed the details of how he accumulated them, saying that he defended in the blinds on a stack of 80,000 and went three ways to a 
flop, where action checked around. The turn came 
and Wheeler bet out, with the original raiser piling his stack into the middle and Wheeler calling it all off.
Terry Wheeler: 
Opponent: 
Wheeler's flopped flush was ahead of his opponent's top pair, top kicker with the nut flush draw and he held as the river 
fell cleanly in his favor.
Moments later, Tan Hoang was overheard saying that he had just had 8,000 as he piled chips into two full racks of chips to change tables. It was later revealed he won a massive, three-way all in with a flopped a straight where he ultimately held versus a flush draw and another big hand. The pair now have two of the largest stacks in the room with less than 15 minutes remaining until the dinner break.
