Alexandre Gomes Eliminated in 4th Place ($68,100)

Alexandre Gomes - 4th Place
Alexandre Gomes - 4th Place
We pick up the action on the flop in a pot between Alex Brenes and Alexandre Gomes.

The board reads {4-Spades} {3-Clubs} {6-Spades}. The betting action is unclear due to the spectacle it created, but both players end up all in on that flop. Gomes holds {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} for a straight draw, a flush draw, and two overcards. Brenes tables {A-?} {5-?} giving him the open-ender and one overcard to the board.

The turn brings the straight for Brenes when the {7-Hearts} peels off. Gomes will need to catch a spade on the river or any 5 to split the pot.

The river, however, is a useless {9-Diamonds}, spelling the end for Gomes. He gets a handshake from the remaining players as he heads to the cashier, looking for his $68,100 prize.

Alex Brenes, meanwhile, has taken the chip lead as we go to three-handed play. He sits with just under 1.7 million in chips.
