Al Gomez (Miami, FL) continued his good form in reaching another final table, but falls short of his ultimate goal.

Al Gomez (Miami, FL) was one of the shortest stacks coming to the final table, and he'd be all-in and at risk, just a handful of hands in.  After Sheldon Gross limped, Gomez shoved for 112,000, with action folding around to Scott Levitt (in the small blind).  Scott three-bet to just over 325,000, causing Sheldon to release, and getting heads up with Gomez.

It would be the A♣ 6♣ of Gomez, against the 10♥ 10♠ of Levitt, with the board running out 8♣ 4♠ 2♣ 7♠ 2♦.  Gomez flopped a flush draw, and added even more outs on the turn (to a straight), but ended up bricking the river.  Al received $2,440 for his tenth place finish, while Levitt chips up to 1,800,000.
