Jason Wheeler Eliminated in 3rd Place ($95,018)

Level 40 : Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Jason Wheeler committed the large majority of his stack into the middle from the small blind, sliding forward 16,000,000. Sharma snap-moved all in, Wheeler snap-called, and Sharma snap-announced "Aces!" as he went to sweat a runout with his rail.

Jason Wheeler: KQ All in
Nishant Sharma: AA

In what was becoming somewhat of a tradition at this final table, it was another massive cooler blind on blind. This time, there would be no upset, as it was already over by the turn. The full board read 84J43 making the event a two-horse race.

Wheeler, who won this event in 2021, was unable to complete a repeat, and heads home with bronze.
