Event 11: Stone Cold Stunner

$350 Big Stack Black Chip Bounty No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 23: 8,000/16,000/2,000 Ante

Robert Melo was the only player that could any major damage to Jorge Gomez and Gomez decided to pick the fight that turned this final table upside-down.

Pre-flop, Melo bet out 35,000 and Gomez raised to 100,000.   Melo then three-bet 350,000. Gomez decided to go all-in and Melo quickly called.

Melo showed KdKc and Gomez turned over AhQd.  With Melo ahead, the flop came 8d3c9d.  Gomez hit the Qs on the turn but a harmless 4h came on the river giving Robert Melo total command of the tournament and leaving Gomez as the short stack on the table.
