Brenes Avoids the Chopping Block
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Roberto Romanello opened for a raise from middle position, and Humberto Brenes three-bet him from the hijack. The next player jammed from the cutoff, and Romanello moved in as well when action folded back to him. Brenes mucked 
face up.
Cutoff: 
Romanello: 
Brenes had made a wise move, as he would have been in horrible shape. The board came down 
, and Romanello continues to climb up the counts.
