Humberto Brenes Cracks a Set

Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes
We caught up to this hand on the turn. With the board reading {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, Brenes checked to his lone opponent, who moved all in for 1,700. Brenes made the call and the players showed:

Brenes: {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Opponent: {6-?} {6-?}

The river came the {9-Spades} to give Humberto the straight and send his opponent to the rail.
