Al Gomez was looking at an early end to his day. He was moved to a table at the front of the room and sat with only 8,000.

“I’m on one bullet today,” Gomez commented.

“This is it,” he said pointing at his stack.

But that wasn’t the end, he has since pushed his stack better than ten-fold higher and caught a nice hand for a triple.

An opponent three-bet shoved with 6s6c and it was an easy call for Gomez with KcKs. To juice up the pot, a middle position player came along with TdTh.

Gomez saw bad news on the QdJh6d flop but he came from behind on the Kd turn. That card also gave the tens a lot of outs with a flush draw, open-ended straight draw but it didn’t get there on the 2h river.

A big hand that pushed Gomez’ stack over 87,000.
