Steve Gee Triples Up

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

Steven Gee, who made the final table of last year's WSOP Main Event, has tripled up.

Gee was all-in for his last 800 on third street against Antonio Esfandiari and another opponent. By sixth street, the boards looked like this:

Gee: {x-}{x-} / {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Esfandiari: {x-}{x-} / {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Esfandiari called a bet from his only live opponent, and did so again on the river. Esfandiari turned over {2-}{5-}{4-} / {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for eight-five. His opponent did not show his full hand, and sent his cards to the muck. Esfandiari won the side pot. Steve Gee revealed {j-}{j-}{3-} / {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} for seven-six, and Gee won the main pot. He tripled up on the hand, and now sits with 2,700.

On third street Dan Kelly was forced to bring in with a {Q-Clubs}. Scott Fischman completed the bet with the {8-Spades}. A player next to Fischman called with the {4-Diamonds} and David Bach called with the {6-Spades}. Kelly folded and the three players went to fourth street.

Fischman was dealt the {q-Clubs}. The player next to Fischman received the {A-Clubs}. Bach was given the {J-Clubs}. First to act the player to the right of Fischman bet and both players called.

On fifth street the player next to Fischman bet receiving the {7-Spades}. Bach called with the {5-Hearts} and Fishman folded before we caught his card.

Sixth street came and Bach was dealt the {2-Spades} while the other player received the {J-Diamonds}. Bach had made a better jack low on his board and bet it out. The other player tanked a bit but then folded allowing Bach to scoop the pot.

Farewell Van Der Fluit

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Vincent Van Der Fluit
Vincent Van Der Fluit

Vincent Van Der Fluit was recently removed from the field. We didn't catch the bracelet winner's bustout hand, but we do know that he was one of the first to exit from the room. When we passed by his former table all we saw was his open seat with a seat card.

The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game. In total, $182,333 in WSOP seats, including a seat to the WSOP Main Event, are being given away during this one-of-a-kind WSOP.com promotion.

In addition to the 36-Seat Giveaway, a “Hot Seat” promotion will allow any player who signs up for a WSOP.com online account and wears their WSOP.com patch on their chest at the table while playing an event to be randomly selected to receive 500 bonus dollars deposited directly into their WSOP.com online account once the site has received all regulatory approvals and launches.
