Wheeler Needs the Board to Pair
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The action was caught as three players were looking at a flop of K?3?5?.
Joao Tomas, in the small blind, checked the action to Ramana Epparla, in early position. Epparla bet out 2,500, Jason Wheeler called from the cutoff, as did Tomas.
The J? turn saw Tomas check again. Epparla continued for 5,000 and Wheeler clicked it back to 10,500. Tomas cold called and Epparla also came along.
It was three ways to the A? river as all three players checked to a showdown. Tomas tabled 10?9? for a flopped flush, Epparla mucked A?K? face up, while Wheeler frustratedly announced "Pair the board one time!" as he flashed 5?5? for a flopped set. Tomas took down this big pot.
