Wheeler Returns the Favor to Michaud
Livello 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Clement Michaud raised to 50,000 in the hijack before Jason Wheeler three-bet to 270,000 in the small blind, leaving 10,000 back. "I have the best hand. It's just a matter of whether you want to double me up or not," Wheeler said.
Michaud eventually called and the flop came J♥9♥9♦. Wheeler checked and Michaud tossed in a blue 5,000 chip before being told he had to make it at least 25,000. "Twenty seconds," Wheeler told the table before he called.
Jason Wheeler: A♠8♣ 
Clement Michaud: 5♣5♦
Wheeler was trailing the two pair of Michaud as the 10♣ fell on the turn. The river was the 10♦ and Wheeler counterfeited Michaud's pair to earn the double up.
"Yes. Gets the chips back," Wheeler cried out.
