Wheeler Fills Up

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

There were about 7,000 chips in the pot and the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop was out when we got to the table. Jason Wheeler bet 4,000 from the big blind and his opponent called from the button.

The {10-Spades} hit the turn and Wheeler checked. The button shoved and Wheeler quickly called to put himself at risk for 14,775.

Jason Wheeler: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Button: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Wheeler had the best of it with nines full and his opponent needed a queen on the river to win the pot. The final card was the {3-Spades} which changed nothing and Wheeler took the pot to double up.

Langrock Takes One

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

There were about 8,000 chips in the middle and the board read {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} when we got to the table. Sebastian Langrock was in the cutoff and facing a shove for about 6,800 from the player in the hijack. Langrock went into the tank for a bit and shoved over the top for about 12,000. A player in early position got out of the way and the two live players tabled their hands.

Sebastian Langrock: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Langrock was ahead with a pair of tens and his opponent needed to hit his flush draw on the river in order to double up. The last card was the {8-Hearts} and Langrock took the pot to stack his opponent.
