With Alexandre Gomes holding the lead he and Faraz Jaka got it all in pre-flop both holding aces.

Jaka's seven kicker paled in comparison to Gomes' jack, however, and the slight edge held, giving Alexandre Gomes his first WPT title.

The Brazilians went wild and the $1,187,670 first place prize now belongs to Gomes.

Adios muchachos.

Alexandre Gomes has ramped up the aggression and has now taken the lead.

The pot that truly turned the tide began with a 550k Gomes raise.

Jaka called, then checked the J 9 2 flop. Gomes bet 735,000, Jaka check-raised it up to 1.9 million and after about a minute in the tank, Gomes shoved.

Jaka was forced to give it up and Gomes was suddenly leading again.

They had played about 23 hands heads up and not much had changed.

Faraz Jaka was running the show in the early going and actually snatched the lead from Alexandre Gomes with some aggressive pre-flop play.

However, Gomes struck back pushing Jaka off a two million chip pot with a 1.3 million chip river bet.

Then, in stunning fashion, Jaka took command by winning a 7.5 million chip pot.

He flopped a pair of aces, got paid off with bets on every street and now has a commanding 2:1 chip lead.

Justin Smith decided A 4 was enough to shove his short stack in and he got looked up by Faraz Jaka holding two kings.

No ace on the flop kept the kings ahead and after bricks on the turn and river Smith's Bellagio Cup came to an end.

He cashes $464,870 for third and it appears he will be headed to the hospital now to deal with the knee as we go heads-up with Alexandre Gomes and Jaka just about even in chips.

They now move to half hour levels so stay tuned, this thing could be over fast.

After a period of relative inactivity, Justin Smith and Alexandre Gomes got back at it.

All of Gomes chips went in with A K versus Smith's A Q and he looked good to double.

The flop brought an ace, but not much else to speak of an d when the turn and river bricked Gomes doubled.

The Brazilian contingent came to life cheering wildly as Gomes crept back into contention for the Bellagio Cup crown.

With almost nine million in chips, he's got the lead and it's Smith who is short now.

We're headed into the 26th level now and Faraz Jaka has the chip lead once again.

He got there through a series of aggressive plays and once again appears to have control of the table.

Justin Smith is now being pushed around in a wheelchair with ice on his knee thanks to that ACL injury.

"Poker is not a sport?" he joked, as the players took a quick break before returning to the action.

Justin Smith and Alexandre Gomes continued butting heads here with Smith getting it all in pre-flop again with K J against Gomes 8 8 just a few hands after doubling up.

This time he found no joy from the flop and turn, except for the fact he picked up a gutshot.

Miraculosly the river completed his straight, but in celebrating the double up, Smith suddenly doubled over in pain.

"It just snapped my ACL," he said.

He was carried back to the felt by Mike Matusow and play will apparently continue.

"We've got a poker injury here," Matusow joked.

Smith said he's torn both ACL's in an accident previously and knows the feeling, but said he is willing to go on.

With the double, he's now the chip leader on over six million in chips and has sworn off celebrations for the time being.

A short stacked Justin Smith shipped it with A 3 and Alexandre Gomes made the call with 3 3.

Miraculously, the J 4 4 kept the treys ahead. The 5 turn didn't mean much, but when the J river fell, Smith made two pair with the ace kicker to double up.

Smith now has over 3 million in chips as three-handed play continues.

Alexandre Gomes lost another 2 million chip pot to Faraz Jaka but was at it again moments ago getting Alec Torelli all-in pre flop in a massive coin flip holding a slight edge.

Gomes had two red tens versus Torelli's A Q and despite Torelli turning a gutshot, he was bounced forth when the river bricked.

Torelli will head to the cage to grab  $271,165 as Gomes takes over the chip lead once again.

Faraz Jaka is in a dead heat for the chip lead now after doubling through Alexandre Gomes.

Gomes went nuts with K J and Jaka played along with two red kings, getting it all in pre-flop.

The A 7 5 flop, A turn and J river ensured the flip flop at the top as Faraz dragged an almost 5 million chip pot.

The two are about even now.
