Alexandre Gomes Eliminated

Alexandre Gomes - Busto
Alexandre Gomes - Busto
Just as we spotted Alexandre Gomes' new table in the Blue Section of the Amazon Room, he moved all in for his last 6,000 chips. A player two seats to his left called with {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}; Gomes showed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and the race was on.

There was no help for anyone on a flop of {10-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. The turn {8-Hearts} took away Gomes' outs to a queen, and it was a good thing for his opponent; the {Q-Diamonds} hit on the river to give Gomes top pair and to make a queen-high straight for his opponent. With that, Gomes said a few words to a friend at a nearby table and left.
