$3,500 WPT Poker Showdown Championship
$2,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 7:  500/1,000 with a 1,000 ante
Day 1B Entries:  1,064

During the dinner break Tournament Director Jason Heidenthal looked into the matter of the abandoned chip stack, and was able to determine that the seat belonged to Alcides Gomez.

Heidenthal then tracked down Gomez’s phone number so he could reach out to him, and Gomez started heading back to the casino.

He just retook his seat a short while ago, and now we’ll see how far Gomez can parlay this second chance in the Championship.

Alcides Gomez  –  114,000  (114 bb)
