Juan Sebastian Gomez was on the button and called. Christopher Franco was in the big blind and raised to 280,000. Gomez took no time at all and moved all in for 1,275,000. Franco quickly called.

Franco tabled {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Gomez showed {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop was {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Franco was still in the lead with his eight kicker.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and got rid of Gomez's opportunity to have chop outs on the river. He now needed one of the three remaining sevens or a four for a straight or he would be our runner-up.

The river was the {9-Spades} and Gomez could not improve. Heads-up play lasted ten hands and Gomez battled it out against a stacked final table. He fell just short of the title, but will surely be seen more of in the future.

Christopher Franco is the winner, taking home $97,360 and the title. A full recap will be posted shortly.
