Jason Wheeler
Jason Wheeler

Daniel Negreanu opened to 6,000 from early position and Jean-Francois Alexandre called from the cutoff. Jason Wheeler three-bet to 21,000 from the button and Negreanu folded 97. Alexandre four-bet shoved, slightly covering Wheeler who started the hand with 123,500. Wheeler snap-called and was at risk.

Jason Wheeler: KK All in
Jean-Francois Alexandre: JJ

Wheeler's kings held up on the 49K310 runout and he doubled up, leaving Alexandre with just over one big blind. Alexandre was eliminated shortly afterward.

A Selection of Counts in Horseshoe White

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Here is a look at some of the stacks in Horseshoe White, courtesy of the WSOP+ app.

[Removed:549] and Gandhi Play a Big Flip

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Shishir Gandhi opened up to 7,000 from early position and [Removed:548] three-bet the cutoff to 24,000. When it got back to Gandhi, he put in a four-bet to 55,000. [Removed:549] didn't need too long to think before he shoved for 233,000, which gave Gandhi a tough decision.

After confirming the count, Gandhi counted out his own stack and had a little over 320,000 in front of him. A few moments later, he announced a call.

[Removed:548]: AK All in
Shishir Gandhi: QQ

Gandhi had the edge with his pocket queens, but had to fade the dreaded overcards to in the pot, and if he did so, he would have heaps in front of him. [Removed:549] took a sip of coffee then watched the dealer put out a flop of 948, which wasn't great news for the Austrian player.

However, what was great news for [Removed:549] was seeing the A land on the turn, which gave him top pair and left him one card away from a huge double-up. No drama arrived on the 5 river, and Gandhi was forced to cough up the chips and send them across the table.

Queen-High Good for Sande

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Calvin Anderson raised in the cutoff and Leonard Sande defended in the big blind.

Sande checked on the flop of 56A and Anderson continued for 4,000. Sande called. Sande checked again on the K turn and Anderson checked back.

Both players checked again on the 3 turn and Sande announced queen-high, which was good as he showed QJ to win the pot as Anderson mucked.

Zulker Takes from Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth limped in from middle position, Michael Zulker limped behind from the small blind and Michael Garner checked from the big blind.

All three players checked the 636 flop leading to the 10 turn. Action checked around to Hellmuth who bet 8,000. Zulker called while Garner folded J8.

Both players checked the 6 river. Hellmuth had king-high with KJ while Zulker had Q10 for sixes full of tens to take the pot.

Zulker Drills a One-Outer to Knock Out Hellmuth

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Michael Zulker opened to 6,500 from under the gun and Leon Sturm called from early position. Phil Hellmuth three-bet shoved for 93,000 from the hijack, Zulker called with a covering stack and Sturm mucked 88.

Phil Hellmuth: AK All in
Michael Zulker: QQ

It was a classic race that Zulker was ahead of on the 34J flop. Hellmuth became a huge favorite after making top pair on the K turn, leaving Zulker drawing to just one out given that the Q was folded preflop. The Q river gave Zulker his one out to a set, eliminating the 17-time bracelet winner from the Main Event.
