The Shark Finds a Spade

Humberto Brenes raised to open things from late position, making it 7,000 to play. Alessandra Santos reraised all in from the small blind for about 23,000, having Humberto covered. With half his chips in the pot already, Brenes made the call, putting himself at risk of elimination, and the hands were shown down:

Brenes: {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Santos: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

The board came out {Q-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Spades} {K-Spades} {8-Clubs}, and the four-flush on board made Humberto the winner with his spade in hand. He put a bad beat on Santos, and is back in contention with 35,000 in chips.
