Alexandre Gomes
Just two years ago, Alexandre Gomes was engulfed in pursuit of a career as a lawyer. He played poker casually but was a partner in a corporate law firm and had his secular goals clearly in the forefront. Once he started playing poker seriously, though, he found himself winning big money almost immediately. He had to make a big decision about his future path and now says he has no regrets about taking on his new profession.

The last six weeks have brought great success for Gomes. At the WSOP, he managed to take down the $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, pocketing $770,540 and a shiny gold bracelet. PokerStars signed him on to their team, and they are proud to have him representing them at the final table today.

Recreationally, Gomes enjoys sports of all kinds, particularly soccer, which he plays regularly. Online, he is known as "Allingomes", but he is quickly becoming equally well-known for his live tournament ventures. He will begin play today with the chip lead, sitting on 763,000 chips.
