Brenes Loses Whole Stack, Almost Loses Plastic Shark Too

A preflop raising war between Humberto Brenes and another player culminated in the other player moving all in and Brenes, the stacks almost even, dwelling for many minutes. Eventually he called.

Brenes: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Mr. Opponent: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

"I folded ace-queen," said another player cheerfully, which didn't make either player feel any better.

Board: {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {4-Spades}

"NO!" shouted Brenes, but yes. The dealer counted the stacks, and it looked as though she was going to give Brenes some change -- but it was just his plastic shark that she was handing back to him. The dealer's count confirmed that he was out, and he and his plastic shark took their leave.
