Hand #1: Gee Scoops It In

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 40,000 ante

Andras Koroknai had the button to kick off the action at the final table. Steve Gee opened to 700,000, and action folded to Russell Thomas in the big blind. He called to take a flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Thomas checked, and Gee bet 850,000. Thomas called.

The {A-Clubs} was added to the board on the turn, and Thomas checked. Gee fired two million. Thomas made the call, and off to the river they went.

The river paired the board with the {7-Diamonds}, and Thomas checked again. Gee fired 4.55, and Thomas folded.
