Gee Grabs Chips from Paur

Steven Gee
Steven Gee

Taylor Paur opened with a raise from middle position, then Steven Gee reraised to 300,000 from the button. It folded back to Paur who made it 630,000 to go, and Gee called.

The flop came {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Paur led out for 565,000, and Gee called again. The turn was the {9-Spades}. Paur took his time, carving out chips and arranging them in front of himself. He then announced he was all in, tossing in a single lavender chip as he did.

Gee winced a little and didn't act right away, but soon enough was calling. Now Paur was the one wincing. "Kings?" Paur asked as he tabled his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Not kings, but still bad for Paur — Gee had {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}.

The river was the {7-Clubs}, and Gee claims a large percentage of Paur's stack.
