Gomez Fighting Back

Wilmer Gomez has had a rough go of it here on Day 1b. Most recently, Gomez has been tending to a short stack of around 6,500. It was at that point when a player in middle position opened for 675 and Nacho Barbero called from the button. Gomez decided to call from the big blind, and then turned around a fired out a bet on the {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop.

We're not sure how much the bet was for as he put out a T5,000 chip, but quietly said the amount. Whatever the amount, it was enough as both his opponents folded.

Gomez Sliding

He chased away one opponent, but the other called to see the {10-Diamonds} turn. Gomez slowed down with a check and watched as his opponent fired 3,500. A good 90 seconds passed before Gomez gave it up.

Barbero Eliminates Gomez

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Wilmer Gomez moved all in for his last 3,700 and watched as two of his three opponents folded. Unfortunately for him, Nacho Barbero called from the big blind and was ahead.

Showdown

Barbero{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Gomez{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Barbero held two pair, which improved to a full house on the {6-Clubs} turn. Gomez needed a ten on the river to keep his LAPT dreams alive, but it was not meant to be as the {9-Hearts} blanked. Gomez was eliminated from the tournament while Barbero chipped up to 18K.

Miguel Solano
Miguel Solano

Picking up the action on a {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop in a five-handed limped pot, Miguel Solano raised all in for 9,075 after a player bet 3,000. After the others folded, the bettor called and revealed {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, drawing live against the {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} held by Solano.

Luckily for Solano, the {10-Clubs} turn and {8-Hearts} river kept his bottom pair as the best hand to win the pot.

Reis Loses One

We're not sure of the details, but we just saw Flavio Reis paying off an opponent, dropping about 10,000 in the process. Reis had {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} out in front of him on a board of {3-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}, while his opponent held {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. It didn't appear to be an all-in hand, but the result is the same . . . Reis lost some chips.
