Elilton Gouveia

There are a couple stacks at or approaching six figures in the field, and one of them belongs to Elilton Gouveia. Gouveia is fresh off a 10th-place finish in the $1,650 Purple Chip Bounty last night, and this encore performance in Event 14 is off to a good start, too.

In a recent pot, Gouveia and the player to his left got tangled up in a preflop raising war that left the opponent all in for about 35,000. Gouveia was working with 9s9h against Ah7h, and the Qh9d7s flop gave him a hammerlock on the hand. The 5s turn and 6d river completed the board, giving Gouveia the knockout pot and a significant boost up the leaderboard.
