Brenes Having Fun

Level 9 : 300/600, 0 ante

Humberto Brenes usually has fun win or lose, but he's all smiles now having just won a large sized pot.

We pick the action up on the turn with about 11,000 already in the pot and the Brenes heads up in position. The board read {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {q-Spades} pairing the board and the player first to act bet. Brenes raised sending his opponent into tank. After a minute or two of thought, he made the call and slouched when he heard Brenes announce "Quads."

Sure enough he had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for the nuts and he raises his stack to 24,300.
