Big Stacks Gomez and Shah Duke it Out; Gomez Emerges as Dominant Leader
Kavin Shah limped from the small blind and Javier Gomez bumped it up to 500,000, which Shah called.
On the flop of A♥9♦2♣, Shah checked, Gomez bet 350,000, and Shah called to see the 5♥ on the turn. Shah checked, Gomez thought for a few seconds before he continued for 1,300,000, but Shah showed no fear and made the call.
When the river fell the 3♣, Shah checked once more to Gomez, who loaded the clip and fired off a huge bet of 3,800,000, sending Shah deep into the tank.
After over three minutes, Shah made the call, but was then shown the bad news when Gomez rolled over J♣4♥ (the Robbie) for a rivered straight.
The table let out a collective gasp and Shah pursed his lips and tossed in his cards while he watched the mega pot get shipped over to Gomez.
