Alexandre Gomes Wins a Huge Pot -- Chipleader?

Aug 22, 2009

With the final board showing [AcQc7d4s3s], the big blind checks, Alex Gomes bets 15,000 from middle position, and the cutoff moves all in. The big blind tanks for more than a minute before he folds, and Gomes calls with [6s5c] — the nuts, a seven-high straight. The cutoff doesn’t notice the straight right away, turning over his [7h4h] (two pair) thinking it’s good. It’s not. 

Alex Gomes eliminates the other player to win a huge pot, and he moves to the top of the chip counts with about 94,000.
