Gee Knocks Out Sheikhan
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Shawn Sheikhan — who finished 11th in the WSOP Main Event in 2005 — just open-raised all in from late position for his last 340,000 or so, and the action folded to 2012 WSOP Main Event ninth-place finisher Steve Gee in the small blind.
Gee checked his cards, then pushed all in himself with a stack that appeared roughly similar to Sheikhan's, and the big blind stepped aside.
Gee: 
Sheikhan: 
The flop came 
to swing the advantage Gee's way, and after the 
turn and 
river, his pair of aces earned him the pot. The stacks were counted to make sure, and indeed Gee had Sheikhan covered and the latter quickly departed.
