Wheeler Outkicks Opponent for Knockout

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up after Espen Jorstad moved all in from the small blind. Berry Wheeler made the call from under the gun. With Jorstad the at-risk player, the two flipped their hands.

Espen Jorstad: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Berry Wheeler: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, giving both players a pair of ace, but with Wheeler ahead with his king kicker. The {j-Spades} turn and {9-Hearts} river changed nothing for either player, meaning Wheeler's ace-king was good enough to scoop the pot and eliminate Jorstad.
