Gomes Eliminates a Very Unhappy Opponent
The button started the hand with a stack of around 420,000 and opened to 75,000. David Gomes was in the small blind and went all in for 450,000. The button started talking to himself through the decision and took a few moments before deciding to call.
Button: A♦9♠
David Gomes: Q♥J♥
The button jumped out of his seat, happy to see Gomes’s cards, saying he knew he was stealing.
However, the hand was not over. The flop came Q♦3♦6♣ and Gomes pulled ahead.
The turn J♠ gave Gomes two pair and had his opponent drawing dead. The river was the inconsequential Kx. The player was visibly upset and reiterated everyone at the table knew Gomes was stealing, added a few intense comments about him, mentioned something about a ‘stupid’ decision and had to be stopped from storming off the floor before getting his payout.
