The Shark is Coming!

Humberto Brenes celebrates his victory with pocket kings
Humberto Brenes celebrates his victory with pocket kings
ESPN cameras surrounded Humberto Brenes's table as he stood up from his chair, hoisting his pocket kings high into the air. "Who has the kings? I am the King!!!" Humberto said, after calling an opponent's preflop all-in bet; his opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

The board filled out {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Humberto celebrated wildly as his opponent sat grimacing, waiting to find out whether or not Humberto had him completely covered; he indeed did.

"The shark is cooooming!" Brenes proclaimed, as he open and closed his arms, mimicking the jaws of a shark.

Brenes stacked up just over 50,000 worth of chips after the hand.
