Gomez Eliminates Kang on Roller-Coaster Hand

Level 14: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000
Raymundo Gomez

The action opens from the HJ for 6,000 and that raise is called by Korea’s Kang Seongyeop from the D. In the BB, Raymundo Gomez of the Philippines re-raises all-in for his remaining 75,500. The initial raiser folds and Kang also commits all of his last chips of 68,000 to the pot in the call.


Gomez turns over A J while Kang is live with K T .


The flop keeps the Filipino on front: 4 T A but turn brings in the K to give the Korean two pairs and the lead. The river card, however, is the A to give Gomez trips and boot out Kang for good in one of the wildest hands of the Main Event thus far.
