Wheeler's Chips are Smoked
Jason Wheeler and Viktor "Isildur1" Blom each put in 2,600 preflop and took a flop of 
. Blom was first to act and wasted little time in checking it over to Wheeler, who tossed out a bet of roughly 4,000. Blom then sprung to life with an all-in check-raise to 24,000 and Wheeler snap-called off for 23,000.
Blom: 
Wheeler: 
Neither player had a spade, but the flop still managed to hit them both. Blom flopped the nut straight, while Wheeler hit a set. The latter player needed the board to pair in order to stay alive, and if that were to happen it'd essentially mean the swede's tournament life as he'd be left with just 1,000 in chips.
The 
turn made it so another spade on the river would result in a chop, but that didn't happen as the 
peeled off. Wheeler failed to pair the board and his night came to an end here in Level 7.
