Event 8 (Day 2): Uehara's Pocket Queens Put Him On Top

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 8 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD)
Level 24 (Blinds 12,000/24,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 1,143
Players Remaining: 29

Approaching Table 7, Alcides Gomez (Miami, FL) would be all-in and at risk against Eddie Uehara, for a pot worth close to 700,000:

Gomez: A♠ Q♣
Uehara: Q♠ Q

Runout: 4♣ 10 2 3 7

Gomez gained some extra outs on the turn, but when the dealer dropped the 7 on the river, Alcides would be headed to the payout podium.  That pot would bring Uehara's stack to just over 2,500,000, making him the chip leader of the (29) players that remain.
