WSOP Circuit Main Event winnerJason Wheeler has his back to the rest of the room and began his day only a few chips shy of 200,000. But that did not last long.

Word spread around the room there was a huge stack on Table 8 and it’s Wheeler sitting in the 5-seat with a newly formed castle worth 865,000. We’ll have to keep an eye on Wheeler to see how he wields them.
