Photo: Jorge Gomez catapults into the chip lead after his pocket kings hold up against three other players.
Jorge Gomez raises from the cutoff to 5,000, the button moves all in for about 30,000, John Binns calls from the small blind, and the big blind moves all in over the top for about 35,000. Gomez moves all in over the top for 153,100, and the small blind calls.
Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:
John Binns:
Jorge Gomez:
Big Blind:
Button:
The board comes — the big blind flops a diamond flush draw and turns a gutshot straight draw, but improves no further. The pocket kings hold up for Gomez to win the entire pot and catapult into the chip lead with one level left to play.
Jorge Gomez – 372,000 (155 bb)
John Binns – 109,000 (45 bb)
