Jason Wheeler wins the World Poker Tour Amsterdam High Roller, after beating the British pro, Jack Salter, in heads-up action, to take the first prize of €125,000.

Jason Wheeler has won the World Poker Tour (WPT) Amsterdam High Roller, parlaying a €6,000 investment into a €125,000 score, after beating a field of 52 entries in the Holland Casino.

Interestingly, Wheeler shouldn’t have even been playing in the event. As described on Facebook a few hours before he sat down to play heads-up for the title.

“What a bizarre world we live in. I prepare myself mentally for two months, and physically for the last two weeks, to play SCOOP’s online. Then I see a great High Roller tournament in the Holland Casino, and I love playing there, so I hop in after three hours sleep, and end up skipping the entire online Sunday I had prepared so long for and instead tomorrow I play heads-up for the trophy and 140 usd.”
