The Shark Nevermore

Humberto Brenes open-shoved UTG for 10,000. Matthew Gilbert instantly moved all in. Action folded around to Erick Lindgren in the big blind. He went into the tank for a couple of minutes.

"You pushed so quickly," Lindgren commented. "What do you have, 42,000?"

He asked the dealer to count down Gilbert's stack. Gilbert had 41,900. Lindgren agonzied for another minute before he relunctantly folded. Gilbert instantly tabled his cards and showed {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

.

"I got two," screamed Brenes. "Two twos!"

Brenes flipped over {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

. He immediately asked the dealer for a two. The flop was {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. Brenes said, "Please, the king of hearts."

The dealer slowly burned, then turned over the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

. Gilbert turned a set, but Brenes picked up a flush draw.

"Ahhh!" he screamed. "Now give me the queen of hearts!"

The river was the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and Brenes' hand did not improve. He headed to the rail. Gilbert increased his stack to over 52,000.
