We join the flop in a heads-up pot involving Alex Brenes. With four cards out on the board, it reads {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

. Brenes' lone opponent is first to act, and he bets out 700. Brenes thinks for a moment before making the call.

Fifth street comes the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

. Once more, Brenes sees his opponent lead out, this time for 1,000 chips. More quickly this time, Brenes again calls. His opponent turns over {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

, but Brenes shows the winning {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

, drawing a puzzled look from his opponent. With that little pot, Brenes has chipped his way up to 12,500.
