Brenes Busts

Humberto Brenes - Busto

Although we didn't witness the hand that crippled Brenes, we were told that he and another player ended up all in after a flop of {a-}{a-}{j-} with Brenes holding {a-}{k-} against his opponent's {j-}{j-}. Brenes was unable to catch up and was left with around 1,500 in chips.

On the very next hand Brenes shoved all in from late position and was called by the player in the big blind.

Brenes: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The flop brought bad news for Brenes when it came {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, giving his opponent a pair of nines and the lead. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn and {j-Hearts} on the river were of no help to Brenes and he was sent to the rail.
