Humberto Doubles Through Mark Smith

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

After a flop of {J-Hearts}

, Humberto Brenes moves all in for 42,000, and Mark Smith calls from the button with {K-Clubs}

. But Brenes shows {9-Clubs}

for the flopped jack-high straight. The last two cards are {4-Clubs}

, and Brenes doubles up to about 168,000 in chips.

After the hand, Humberto says he has only had three hands in three hours, and then said, "Hungry! Hungry!" in the way that only he can. Of course, we've been playing for less than two hours, but who's to argue with Humberto's logic?

, and Sebok breathes a sigh of relief as he doubles up to over 70,000 in chips.

Joe Sebok doesn't normally care about cashing, always keeping his eye on the final table and the winner's circle. But because his bet with Gavin Smith and Jeff Madsen awards points for cashing in certain events, Sebok is eager to make it into the money -- a new experience for him.
