Going, Going, Gomes

A player moved all in before the flop for 4,125 and was called down by Alexandre Gomes, creating a pot of about 9,000 chips. With the two men heads up, the cards were shown down:

Gomes: {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

The flop rolled out {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. The {Q-Spades} on the turn gave both men two pair, but Gomes' ace kicker was still in the lead. The river, however, came the {K-Diamonds}, and Gomes lost his edge on the last card. The pot was pushed to his opponent, who survived his all in, and Gomes is back down around 21,000.
