Levi to the Lead; Gomes Roller Coaster Takes a Dive

When you combine creative play, big stacks, and big hands, there's no telling what's going to happen. The corner table has been non-stop action all day. This time, it got really expensive for Alexandre Gomes. He, Nicolas Levi, and Tristan Clemençon took a flop three ways. Clemençon checked the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} board, and Gomes bet 5,000. Levi flatted, and Clemençon got out of the way.

The {k-Spades} turn made things really interesting. Gomes checked, and Levi bet 12,300. Alex sized up Nicolas' stack before raising to 27,700. Levi responded by moving all in, and Gomes snap-called. Gomes only needed to see one of Levi's queens to know what the Frenchman held. Gomes cursed as he tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, drawing to two outs against Levi's {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The river was the {6-Hearts} instead, and Levi earned a full double for his 69,400. He surged to the chip lead with around 160,000. Gomes was left growling at his remaining 22,000.
