Alexandre Gomes, the first Brazilian to win a bracelet (in Event #48, $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em just a few days ago), was in rough shape. He was all in against one player in a classic race--his {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

against his opponent's {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

. The flop {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

made a set for Gomes' opponent but also gave Gomes an inside straight draw. The turn and river {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

made a runner-runner flush for Gomes to double him up to 24,000.
