Wheeler Wins Battle of Connectors
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
WSOP bracelet winner Jason Wheeler raised to 550,000 at the cutoff position, and then met resistance when Daniel Lipszyc called out of the big blind.
The dealer fanned A?J?7? on the flop, and Lipszyc checked. Wheeler responded with a 450,000 bet and Lipszyc called.
The Q? arrived on the turn and Lipszyc checked. Wheeler sized up to a 650,000 bet and Lipszyc called.
Action slowed down on the river when 8? appeared, as both players checked.
Lipszyc quickly tabled 10?7? for a pair of sevens, but Wheeler followed by showing 8?6? for a rivered pair of eights to win the pot.
