Big hands:
Alan Cutler Eliminated in 5th Place ($223,497)
In an unsightly turn of events, Alan Cutler had lost most of his chips to Alexadre Gomes after getting it in with top two pair against Gomes’ undercards. Gomes went runner-runner trips to double through Cutler.
The very next hand and Cutler raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Marco Johnson reraised all in. Cutler called and Johnson had him covered.
Johnson: 5
5
Cutler: QQ
Board: J526K
Cutler was dominating Johnson before the flop, reducing his opponent to only two outs in the deck. Gomes flopped his set and Cutler was eliminated in 5th place ($223,497). From chip leader to fifth place over the span of just two hands, it is going to be a long ride home for Alan Cutler.
Robert Brewer Eliminated in 4th Place ($274,101)
Ryan D’Angelo raised to 150,000 before the flop and Robert Brewer called. The flop came K85, and Brewer bet 325,000. D’Angelo made the call and the turn was the 4. D’Angelo moved all in and Brewer called. D’Angelo turned over KK for top set while Brewer showed 107 for the flush draw. The river was the 7 and Robert Brewer was eliminated in 4th place ($274,101). That makes four knock-outs now for D’Angelo.
Ryan D’Angelo Eliminated in 3rd Place ($326,812)
Alexandre Gomes doubled through Ryan D’Angelo a few hands prior, taking the chip lead for the first time today.
Still riled up after Gomes sucked out on the river to steal the chip lead from him, Ryan D’Angelo raised to 150,000 before the flop and Alexandre Gomes moved all in. D’Angelo called and both players turned over their cards.
Gomes: 99
D’Angelo: AQ
Board: 98753
It was a race situation and Gomes all but crossed the finish line right there on the flop, making top set and reducing the former chip leader to going runner-runner. D’Angelo didn’t get there and was eliminated in 3rd place ($326,812) while Gomes realized a 2.5:1 chip lead over Marco Johnson going into heads-up play.
And The There Were Two…
Heads-up play begins with Alexandre Gomes leading Marco Johnson with 6.7 million to 2.55 million.
