When the Gomes Get Tough, the Tough Get Out of the Way

Joseph Haddag got all in preflop, for how much we can't be sure, and was called by Alex Gomes, who has more than enough chips to spare.

Showdown
Haddag: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Gomes: {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs} flop gave Haddag top pair with top kicked, but the {K-Diamonds} turn gave Gomes a pair of kings and the lead. The {9-Clubs} river improved Gomes to two pair, which was good enough to win the pot and send Haddag to the rail.
