Wheelin' Out

Preflop betting was heavy when a player in the small blind limped to Jason Wheeler who raised to 600. The small blind had a tick up his sleeve, though, and three-bet to 3,500. Wheeler wasn't satisfied with the size of the pot and shoved for 8,000 more with the small blind making the call.

Wheeler: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Small blind: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Wheeler needed to catch some cards to pull ahead, but he was unable to do so when the {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} came on the flop. The {9-Spades} on the turn gave him a few more outs, but he failed to get there and was eliminated when the river delivered the {3-Diamonds}.
