Wheeler Picks Off Bluff From Chip Leader
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action folded to Jason Wheeler on the button who opened for 22,000 and only Kenan Taylor made the call in the big blind.
The flop came 8?7?5? and both players checked their options to the Q? turn. Taylor elected to take the lead with a bet of 20,000 and Wheeler came along.
The 6? completed the board and Taylor tossed out a bet of 75,000. Wheeler took a few seconds before making the call and Kenan instantly mucked his hand to show he got caught bluffing. Wheeler scooped the pot and is now over the million chip mark.
