"Pair The Boarddddddd"

Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes

We came in as Humberto Brenes was standing up and his little toy shark was on top of his stack and in the middle. Erick Lindgren had made the call on the flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-}{5-} for Kings and a low draw. Humberto showed {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a set of aces.

The turn {4-Hearts} was the gin card for Lindgren as he made a wheel and looked poised to take Humberto's stack, but Humberto yelled in his Humberto way, "Pairrrrr theeeee boarrdddddddd," and sure enough, the {3-Clubs} came on the river and Humberto said it again in a victorious way, "PAIRRR THEEEE BOARRRDDDDD." The two chopped up the pot and Brenes maintains about starting stack with 4,500.
