Gomes went to finish the job a few hands later with (A,K) against Johnsons (Q,J), and picks up the gold bracelet and $770,540 for his first place.

Event 50 $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha World Championship. This event saw 381 players enter, and some well known names amongst them too. Despite this it was a rather lesser known man who won the event. Full Tilt sponsored poker pro Peter Jetten could not get away from his final hand when he made the nut straight on the flop, Marty Smyth had made the same hand and all the chips went in the middle. Unfortunately for Jetten Smyth had four cards to a flush too, and promptly rivered a club to take the bracelet and $859,532 for first place.
