Brenes Is Saved on the River
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
All the chips went in the middle on the flop 8♣2♦3♥ between Humberto Brenes, at risk for a remaining stack worth 20,000, and his opponent, who had him covered:
Humberto Brenes: K♥K♦
Opponent: J♣J♥
Brenes had the dominated hand but a J♠ showed up on the turn to give a set of jacks to his opponent. Brenes was ready to be eliminated, but a miracle K♣ landed on the river to give the winning hand to Brenes and the double up.
