Steve Gee Wins WSOP Gold Bracelet in Event 13
Jun 10 2010 12:50 AM EST
Steve Gee was the winner of the $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em event at the 2010 World Series of Poker. It marked his first career WSOP gold bracelet victory. Gee is a 54-year-old poker pro who now lives in Sacramento, CA. He has been playing poker for more than three decades and was one of California’s top cash game Lowball players, long before flop games such as Hold’em became popular.
Gee collected $472,479 for first place. The nearly half-a-million dollar payout was fitting given the heavy odds stacked against him when he began play three days earlier. Gee conquered a massive field size of 3,042 players en route to his biggest poker win ever.
This was the second $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em event held at this year’s WSOP. Every weekend three huge No-Limit Hold’em events are played. Most Fridays include a $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em tournament. A $1,000 buy-in event takes place on Saturday and Sunday (two flights/starting days). Each Monday includes another $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em event. All Day One starting times are noon.
The top 324 finishers collected prize money. The runner up was Matthew Vance, from Lowville, NY.
A full report of this event will be posted shortly.
