Gomes Cracks Aces To Double Up!

Marco Johnson opened with a raise to 280,000 from the button. Alexandre Gomes thought for a minute before declaring he was all in. Johnson insta-called and slammed {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} on the table. Gomes cringed as his tournament life was on the line with {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to offer Gomes some hope, and the Brazilian fans blew the roof off the Rio when the {10-Hearts} rolled off on the turn! The {J-Clubs} on the river left Johnson in a state of disbelief after coming so close to the bracelet, as Gomes doubles through to 4.8 million chips to now hold the lead against Johnson's 4.4 million.
