Wheeler's good friend Bryn Kenney leaned over, and Wheeler announced what the situation was. "Threes against king-seven," he said.
Wheeler made a small fist pump when the flop was spread 
, but he wasn't out of the woods just yet.
"A four would be a fun card" Salter said.
The 
hit the turn and Salter already put down his head a little. The 
on the river was a blank, and Wheeler and Salter shook hands.
Salter congratulated Wheeler, with the latter elated to finally win in Holland.
"Finally get that trophy in Amsterdam!" he exclaimed.
Wheeler took home €125,000, and Salter got €90,000 for his runner-up finish. Wheeler told the tournament organization he plans on entering the Main Event later today, but first he's going to hang out with Kenney on this beautiful day in the city.
