Humberto Brenes has been playing very patiently today and avoiding any big confrontations. However, holding pocket kings he probably wasn't thrilled to see five opponents call a pre-flop raise and take a flop of 10-10-2. The action checked around to allow a free jack to fall on the turn. The action checked around again to a late-position player who fired 1,500 into the middle. Brenes was the lone caller as he treaded carefully out of position with his kings. The river brought an eight and Brenes once again check-called his opponent's 3,000 bet. His opponent flipped Q-J for top pair, but Brenes gleefully accepted the pot, flashing his kings to the table in typical Brenes fashion!
Brenes now has around 22,000 in chips underneath his two shark card protectors!
