"Oooooooooh", "Aaaaaaaaaah"

[user4144]

Don't worry, those aren't the sounds coming from any back room, but the noises being made by a relaxed Humberto Brenes as the tracksuit wearing Magnum lookalike rests his feet on the couch behind us.

"Are you winning, Humberto?" I ask.

"I'm doing okay, around 15,000, he replies. (Apologies, I don't know how to write a Costa Rican accent.)

"When are we going to see the shark?"

"Aaaaaaah, he only comes out for the camera. He's a TV star."

Looks like we're going to have to wait till the final table, folks, before witnessing the arrival of Mr Sharky, now equipped with a beaming red light protruding from his mouth.
