Gee Knocks Out Sheikhan

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Shawn Sheikhan (from Day 4)
Shawn Sheikhan (from Day 4)

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: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Sheikhan: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to swing the advantage Gee's way, and after the {10-Diamonds} turn and {3-Clubs} 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.
