Brenes Wins a Race

A player in middle position raised to 450 and got a caller before Humberto Brenes reraised all in for 2,225 from the button. The original raiser called all in for for 1,850 and the third player folded.

Brenes: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

A flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Spades} gave Brenes top pair and provided his opponent with a gut shot draw, which failed to materialize as the board finished {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Brenes had 5,500 after the hand.

Nearby, Tom McEvoy is sitting with 4,900 and Miami John Cernuto has 5,200.
