The Chark Gets Fed

With the board reading {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}[2d{4-Spades} on the turn, Humberto Brenes checked from the big blind and the cutoff made a pot-sized bet of 12,000, leaving himself only 5,000 behind. Brenes tanked for a minute or so before moving his entire stack in the middle, and the cutoff called.

Brenes {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Cutoff {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The river blanked out and Brenes raked in the pot, increasing his stack to 49,000.
