Picardi Survives Battle With "the Shark"
Level 5
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
Humberto Brenes, sans his trademark shark, was in the big blind and called a raise from Mike Picardi on the button, as did the small blind.
All three players checked the 
flop before Picardi bet on the 
turn when action checked to him. Only Brenes called.
The river came the 
and both players checked. Picardi showed the 
for a pair of aces and Brenes could only look back at his cards and tap the felt before conceding the pot.
