We've recently been informed that the players will only play six levels both today and tomorrow. When the players return from this fifteen minute break they will play the final two levels before play concludes for the day.
Humberto Brenes managed to battle back after a staggering first level to this tournament. However, when we last caught up with him things were not going too well.
Action folded around to Brenes who raised to 500 from the cutoff and received a call from both blinds. The flop came

Brenes is now sitting at about 6,000.

river was checked by the cutoff, putting the action back on Palacios. He shook his head slowly in slight disgust and tapped the table.
Palacios showed
