Turnaround in the heads-up
However, Galiana managed to reduce the difference in a decisive hand. Jonatas Gomes had top pair, but the Spaniard completed a straight on the river. Shortly after, another cooler weighed against the Brazilian, this time in a set vs. set duel, with a higher kicker for Galiana.
Thus, Jonatas was left with only 10 blinds. In the next hand, the Brazilian put his chips in play and saw his opponent take the better. The K♠6♦ of Antonio Galiana beat the J♣7♠ of Jonatas Gomes on the board 5♠5♣A♥4♥5♦.
Finally, Antonio Galiana confirmed the title of Event #09 of the WSOP Online. While the Spaniard took home US$ 155,295, Jonatas Gomes finished the contest in second place and secured US$ 108,381. Still, the Brazilian left his mark on one of the main decisions of the series.
