Octo-Niner in the Field

[user101598]

Level 2 : 50/75, 0 ante

We've just spotted Octo-Niner Steve Gee grinding away in the Orange Section of the Amazon Room. Gee, who finished ninth in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event, is sitting with around 3,500 chips, and looking for his first cash since he graced the main stage of the Penn & Teller Theatre here at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.

Gee and Greg Merson were the only bracelet winners at the final table, and Merson of course shipped his second bracelet when he defeated Jesse Sylvia heads up. Gee won a $1,000 no-limit hold'em event in 2010, earning $472,479.

Gee has $1,253,220 in career tournament earnings.
