Gomes Hits Nut Flush; Waters Exits
Level 8
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
The completed board was down 
, and Alexandre Gomes was all in from middle position and heads-up against Tom Waters in the big blind.
Waters had Gomes covered by 250,000, so an incorrect call would leave him short. After some thought Waters made the call and saw the bad news, when Gomes flipped over 
for the nut flush, and Waters was made to show 
for the second nut flush.
With his stack at 250,000, Waters was all in in the very next hand with 
and up against his opponent's 
. The 
flop put Waters in the lead and the 
turn kept it that way. But when the river was revealed to be the 
, partypoker managing director Waters saw the pot stole from his grasp and was eliminated from Day 1d in cruel fashion.
