Dealer Answers Prayers, Then Reneges

Humberto Brenes was facing a raise preflop when he decided to put his opponent all-in. Humberto turned over {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} for big slick and saw he was up against his opponents {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} . "Put out the king! Put out the king!" Humberto chanted as the dealer began to flop the board. The chant continued as the flop ran {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {7-Clubs}, yet stopped when the {K-Spades} smacked on the turn. Humberto was quite happy, while his opponent packed up and headed for the door. Luckily, he hadn't gotten very far, as the {J-Spades} fell on the river to keep him in the game.
