Shark Staying Sharp

Humberto Brenes opened with a raise to 2,100, and his opponent reraised to 8,000 out of the blinds. Brenes called to see the {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. The other player bet 8,000, and Brenes flatted. His opponent fired again, this time 20,000, after the {q-Spades} on the turn. Once again, Brenes called. The {9-Diamonds} came on the river, and the other player slowed down and checked the action to Brenes. Humberto made a small bet of 15,000. It smelled like a big hand, or at least something that could beat a bluff, and his opponent folded. "See, you can't get the shark," Brenes said, playing with constant companion, a tiny toy shark. "The shark is smart." Brenes' shark is now sitting on a stack worth 84,000.
