Gekle Falls To Rings

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Chuck Gekle
Chuck Gekle

Chuck Gekle raised to 6,500 from the hijack and was called by Shawn Rings in the cutoff and Brady Wieland in the big blind.

The flop rolled out J92 and Wieland checked over to Gekle who bet 15,000. Rings raised to 65,000 and action folded back around to Gekle who moved all in for 46,000 total.

Chuck Gekle: QQ
Shawn Rings: J9

Gekle could not improve on the runout of 56 and the jacks up were good for Rings to take down the pot.
