Straight to the Rail: Wheeler Sends Peluso Packing

Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jason Wheeler opened the action with a raise, only to face an all-in shove from Fabio Peluso. Wheeler made the call, and the cards went on their backs:
Fabio Peluso: K?10?
Jason Wheeler: Q?J?
The flop came 9?10?8?, giving Wheeler an immediate straight and leaving Peluso in dire straits.
The turn K? brought a flicker of hope for Peluso, as a full house was now a possibility.
However, the river 5? dashed those hopes, confirming Wheeler's win and sending Peluso to the rail.
