Wheeler Wins Battle of Connectors

Niveau 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.
