Humberto Doubles in Style

There was some commotion over at Humberto Brenes' table. On a flop of {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}, Brenes bet 3,000 and his opponent raised to 9,000. Brenes tanked, but eventually had the clock called on him and the antics began.

The player that was involved in the hand was in seat seven. The player in seat eight said, "Humberto, shut the hell up." as Brenes was talking and putting on a show.

"Do you have a sponsor?" said Brenes to the player. "I have a sponsor." pointing to the patch on his arm. "This is about money and television means money from my sponsor." Brenes went on to say.

"Shut up and just act." said the player in seat eight.

Brenes then explained to the floor, "You count down the clock and I'll say 'All in!' when you say three, then two. You have ace queen? You have jack ten? If you have jack ten you have four outs -- I mean six outs. But you have ace queen, ace queen."

The floor counted down from the last ten seconds on the clock and when he got to three Humberto announced that he was all in. It was only a few hundred more and the player called. The player showed {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} and Humberto burst out. "I told you ace queen, I told you ace queen!" as he pointed to the player and to the camera. He then tabled {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}.

The turn brought the {4-Spades}. "It's not coming! It's not coming for you!" preached Brenes. The river was then the {2-Diamonds} and that was it, Humberto celebrated with his hands in the air and earned the double-up.
