Go, Go, Gomes

No-Limit

We walked up too late to see any of the betting action, but at some point during this hand, Alexandre Gomes got himself all in for about 23,000 total. He held {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, and his opponent's hand showed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}.

It wasn't as bad as it sounds for Gomes though; when we found the pot, the river was already out, and the board showed {7-Spades} {10-Spades} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. It's a safe bet that the money went in on the flop or the turn, but either way, Gomes has found a big double up to 47,000, putting him well ahead of the pack and in the top five overall.
