Wheeler Doubles Through Lavin
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
With his newfound chip lead, Michael Lavin opened to 250,000 from the cutoff. It didn't take long, however, for that amount to rise, as Jason Wheeler went all in for his remaining 1,405,000, good for just over 11 big blinds. Lavin, who was on a self proclaimed "sun run", made the call, and was hoping for it to continue as he saw he was behind.
Jason Wheeler: Q♠Q♦ 
Michael Lavin: Q♥10♥
Michael Rossitto started calling for the jack of hearts, as he wanted both a sweat and a pay jump, but Wheeler was clearly opposed to the idea. Thankfully, the 3♠6♦2♠ flop had Lavin drawing to runner runner, and the 6♣J♥ runout secured Wheeler's double.
