Gee Dodges a Heart to Double Through Strelitz

Steven Gee raised to 200,000 on the button and Daniel Strelitz defended from the big blind. The {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop saw Gee call a bet of 325,000, before he called off for 1.965 million on the {2-Hearts} turn.

Showdown

Gee{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Strelitz{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Gee was ahead with aces, but he needed to dodge a heart on the river to survive. That's exactly what he did as the harmless {6-Spades} peeled off.
