Wheat First to Go, Out in 9th ($65,568)

Matthew Wheat raised to 100,000 from the button and Trevor Uyesugi made the call from the big blind.

The flop came Q97 and Uyesugi checked to Wheat. Wheat bet 220,000 and Uyesugi raised enough to put Wheat all in. Wheat called. Their hands:

Uyesugi: AQQ8
Wheat: Q1065

Uyesgui held a flopped set and flush draw, and Wheat held a pair, straight draw and weaker flush draw. The turn was the 2 and the river 10 didn’t improve Wheat enough, sending him home in 9th place for $65,568.
