"You bluff Humberto! No good," said Brenes as he opened 
. "Nice try!"
At that moment, Etter was broken away from the table. He shook hands with Brenes before leaving.
The very next hand Brenes raised pre-flop and then was three-bet by the big blind. Brenes called and faced a bet of 17,000 on a ten-high flop, 
. He called again. Both players checked the 
turn and river. The big blind showed down an unimproved

"Everyone try to bluff me," said Brenes with mock incredulity. He opened
