Wheeler and Hoang Both Ascend Rapidly

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Terry Wheeler
Terry Wheeler

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 {x-Hearts}{x-Hearts}{x-Hearts} flop, where action checked around. The turn came {q-} and Wheeler bet out, with the original raiser piling his stack into the middle and Wheeler calling it all off.

Terry Wheeler: {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-}

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 {4-Spades} 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.

Pelz Finds a Double

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ian Pelz
Ian Pelz

Ian Pelz open-jammed for 18,600 in the hijack and the player on the button re-jammed to isolate the remaining players out of the pot.

Ian Pelz: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

Pelz's opponent shrugged upon seeing his hand, realizing the two were in a coin flip for stacks. An eight in the window of a flop {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} put Pelz further ahead.

"Agh. Nice hand," said his opponent, though Pelz still had running straight cards to fade. The turn {j-Hearts} made the backdoor gutter ball a possibility, but the river {j-Clubs} paired the board instead to give Pelz a full house and earn him the dub.

Wahdan Ends Up On Top

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nader Wahdan
Nader Wahdan

Nader Wahdan limped in early position and saw three limps behind before the big blind jammed for around 50,000. Wahdan called all in for 16,7000, as did the cutoff for 8,300.

Cutoff: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Nader Wahdan: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Big Blind: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Wahdan fell victim to a two outer on the flop {9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades} and the turn {5-Hearts} did him no favors. Luckily for him, the river {k-Spades} brought him a three outer of his own to improve back to the best hand and score both pots to more than double.
