The Humberto Show

There was a super-short stack all in from early position before a player in mid position reraised to 5,000. Humberto Brenes, who was in the big blind, stood up, rolled up up his sleeves, and did his all-in motion thing with his hands. His all-in was 15,000, and he says 'Who's the King?'

The middle-positon player commented that he just got to the table so couldn't be King and folded pocket tens. Humberto had {J-?} {J-?} that was enough to eliminate the short-stacked player.
