Wheeler Walks Into a Set (and a Flush)

On a {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop we saw Jason Wheeler bet 425 after a check from the big blind. A player in late position made the call and the decision was back on the big blind. He thought about if for some time, meanwhile playing with his chips. For a moment it looked like he was about to call, but eventually he put all his chips together as one stack and moved them forward; 2,500 total all in. Wheeler immediately informed how much the smooth caller had, and eventually moved in as well. Wheeler knew he was in trouble after the caller insta-called as well:

Big blind{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Jason Wheeler{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Caller{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Wheeler had a lot of catching up to do but would fail on that mission. The {5-Clubs} on the turn spelled doom for him and the {7-Diamonds} on the river wasn't the one card in the deck he needed to scoop the side pot. Wheeler needed to pay another 2,975 for the side-pot, but still has about 9,000 left in his stack.
