Humberto Brenes Doubles Up

Three players, including Humberto Brenes limped in and saw a flop of {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}. The big blind bet 15,000 and only Brenes called. The turn was the {6-Hearts}. The big blind bet 38,500, the exact amount remaining in Brenes' stack, and Brenes called instantly.

"You got me" said the big blind, showing {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

Brenes turned over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and starting waving his famous "Chark" around, saying something about how the shark might be hungry as the ESPN cameras swarmed.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds}, and Brenes doubled up to 153,000.
