Gee Makes Set on River to Win Big Hand

We haven't had too many three-way pots lately, but we were treated to a doozy when David Baker made a raise to 160,000 from the button. Stephen Gee and Matt Vance called from the small blind and big blind respectively.

All three players checked a flop of {2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. When we got to see the {3-Clubs} on the turn, Gee led out with a bet of 275,000 with both Vance and Baker calling. At this point there was over 1,000,000 in the pot.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and Gee bet 720,000. Vance folded, but Baker made the call. Gee showed {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a rivered set and Baker mucked.

David Baker Eliminated in Third Place ($206,813)

David Baker - Third Place
David Baker - Third Place

David Baker was in the small blind when he moved all in for 1,200,000. He got a call out of Stephen Gee, while Matt Vance folded.

Gee: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Baker: {8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}

Baker was way behind and failed to catch up as the board ran out {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The elimination has brought us to heads-up play with Gee taking the chip lead. Quite an impressive feat, considering he was on the short stack for much of the day.
