Humberto Brenes

Humberto Brenes' opponent must have wondered what Brenes could possibly have in the hole. Brenes showed a board {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

against his opponent's board of {5-?}

{5-?}

{6-?}

{8-?}

{9-?}

. At the showdown, Brenes' opponent opened {7-?}

{7-?}

{8-?}

{8-?}

in the hole for a straight to the nine. Not to be outdone, Brenes opened {10-?}

{10-?}

{10-?}

{2-?}

for a full house, tens full of twos.

Brenes is now up to 5,700.
