Humerto Brenes Eliminated

Humberto = Busto
Humberto = Busto
Humberto Brenes was short and moved all in. David Schechter wanted to call and paused for a few moments to think about his next move.

"I have a very good hand, Humberto," said Schechter.

"Please call. I want to double up," said Brenes.

After a couple of minutes in the tank, Schechter called.

Schechter: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}
Brenes: {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs}

The flop was {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river was the {2-Spades}. Schechter won the pot and Brenes headed to the rail. Before he left, Schechter shook his hand and they embraced.

"It's was an honor to play with you," said a respectful Schechter.

David Schechter now has almost 40,000.
