Marco Johnson opened with a raise preflop to 210,000 from the button and Alexandre Gomes made the call from the big blind.

They took a flop of {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

and Gomes checked to Johnson who fired out 310,000. Gomes made the call.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

and both checked. The river was the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

and it was checked down again. Johnson showed {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

for a pair of kings on the turn as Gomes sighed and tossed his cards into the muck.

Gomes is now down to 2.9 million chips with Johnson sitting with about 6.3 million.
