Wheeler Scoops Big Pot to Leave Prokhorskiy Short
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
In the last hand before the break, Jason Wheeler opened to 9,000 and was called by Nikolay Prokhorskiy from two seats over and Mikhail Galitski in the big blind. The flop of 
was checked to Wheeler and his first barrel worth 13,500 was called by both opponents.
On the 
turn, Galitski checked and Wheeler fired a second barrel of 26,000. This time, only Prokhorskiy called and the 
came on the river. Wheeler made it 68,000 to go and Prokhorskiy had slightly more than that behind. "I don't know man, it might be ICM suicide," Prokhorskiy said half in Russian, half in English.
The call came half a minute later and Wheeler rolled over 
for a full house to claim a big pot several minutes into the break.
