He shoved in for 372,000, and Schulman quickly mucked out of the way. Wheeler called, though, and the cards were on their backs. The two men were very close in chips.

That's safe for Binger, and he suddenly finds himself flush with chips. When the stacks were counted down, he had Wheeler slightly covered, and we've bid farewell to another player. It's Wheeler out in 10th place on the final table bubble, good for a consolation prize of $25,874.
