Fernandez Slips, Brenes Spills
After a few folds, Leo Fernandez opened pre-flop to 775. Action passed to the small blind, who re-raised to 2,150. At the same time, Humberto Brenes knocked over a can of guarana, spilling some onto the table in front of his stack.
While Brenes frantically rubbed a paper napkin on the spreading stain on the felt, Fernandez called the re-raise. His opponent led out for 3,150 on a king-high flop, . Brenes' efforts resulted in lots of little bits of paper napkin sprinkling the felt on top of the stain as the napkin began to disintegrate under Brenes' hand. Fernandez said something in Portuguese to Brenes, making a dabbing motion on the table, then folded his hand. He's down to about 17,000. For his part, Brenes needs a new can of guarana.
