Hand #57 - Jason Lester Doubles Through Humberto Brenes

Hand #57 - Humberto Brenes has the button in seat 7, he raises to 60,000, and Lester calls from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, Lester checks, Brenes stands up as he bets the pot of 135,000. Apparently, he thinks it will take Lester a while to call, because he wanders away from the table and mugs for ESPN's camera with his lighted shark.

Lester does, in fact, think things over for a minute. But he moves all in, and Brenes quickly calls with {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Lester shows {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and they both have a pair of tens, but Brenes leads with his ace kicker.

The turn card is the {J-Clubs}, and Lester has an open-ended straight draw, needing an ace or a nine to stay alive.

The river card is the -- {A-Clubs}! The crowd cheers as Lester catches a runner-runner straight to stay alive and double up to 455,000 in chips. Brenes drops down to 435,000.
