Is the shark coming out to play?

The Shark is huuunnngry!!!
The Shark is huuunnngry!!!
Just before the break, Nolan Dalla announced we have players from all over the world playing Day 4 of this years Series. He went through over a dozen different countries, but it turns out he left one out. There is one player in the field from Wales, to which Nolan gave the witty reply "There are a lot of fish in Whales."

This must have been playing on Steve Crockett's mind when he raised from the cutoff on Humberto Brenes' big blind. Humberto went into the tank, and while he was contemplating a decision, Crockett asked "Is the shark coming out to play?". Humberto laughed and called the 14,000 raise. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Humberto fired out 30,000, and Crockett folded instantly.

One thing is for sure, if you are going to play in these waters, you had better know how to swim.
