Matt Stout raised from middle position, Al Gomez reraised from the button to 25,000, and Stout moved all in for 123,000.

Gomez tanked for a while before he called with 10h10c, but Stout turned over JsJh. Stout needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Ad10d8h10s2s, and Gomez flopped a set of tens and turned quads to win the pot and eliminate Stout from the tournament.

Al Gomez  –  185,000  (37 bb)
