The Happiest Bust-Out Yet
It ended up working out the same for both men.
Action folded around to Humberto in the small blind, and he raised to 14,000. Alexandre Gomes was the only one left to get past, but he moved all in, having Humberto well-covered. Brenes made the call, and the two PokerStars pros butted heads for a big pot.
Brenes:
Gomes:
The board failed to provide any help for Humberto Brenes, bricking off completely, and he simply shrugged and lamented, "Ace and ace in the blinds, what can I do?" in his happy-go-lucky tone. He gave Gomes a big hug and headed for the rail, smiling all the way.
After knocking out his partner and raking in that pot, Alexandre Gomes is now our big chip leader, up dangerously close to 300,000.
