Is Race a Tell?

Humberto Brenes opened with a raise, and Gerardo Godinez moved all in for about 8,500. This sent Brenes into the tank, searching for any information he could glean.

"You're a Mexican," he said. "I know you're only going to do that with ace-king. Show me your ace-king!" With that, Brenes slid his calling chips forward. Much to his delight, Godinez did indeed table big slick! Brenes was racing for a knockout with pocket tens.

Brenes lost the hand but was still glowing about his read. He shook his opponent's hand and even paused for a quick photo op with Godinez after the chips were stacked.
