Wheeler Grabs the Lead
Level 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Vincent Moscati opened for 8,000 and Nicholas Immekus called on the button. Jason Wheeler then made it 21,000 from the big blind. Back to Moscati who four-bet to 46,000 and Immekus quickly got out of the way. Wheeler though had other ideas and moved all in.
Moscati got a count and the total bet was just over 200k to call, most of his stack, but call he did.
Moscati's 
was staring at the 
of Wheeler.
The flop was 
and suddenly the picture looked very different. There was hardly time to react though as the dealer quickly burned and turned the 
and finished it off with a river 
.
There would be no suck out for Moscati who would plummet down the leader board while Wheeler now sits firmly atop.
