Wheeler and Van den Berg, Friendly Foes
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Jason Wheeler, who's also playing online deep in a big event, raised to 4,400 and the action folded to Thierry van den Berg in the big blind.
"You had to raise?" Van den Berg said.
"If I had folded this hand my mom would've been upset," Wheeler smiled.
Van den Berg three-bet to 14,000 and Wheeler said, "You really had to make it serious?"
Van den Berg remained quiet, and Wheeler called.
The flop brought out 
and Van den Berg picked up the pot with a bet of 12,000.
"I had a good hand," Van den Berg said, as he showed 
.
"I know," Wheeler smiled, and both players shook hands.
