Jose Miguel Espinar

Lisandro Gallo has the button in Seat 4.

He folds in position, Alex Brenes limps, and Jose Miguel Espinar knocks the table.

Flop: {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. Brenes checks, Espinar bets 35,000, and Brenes check-raises to 100,000. Espinar calls.

The turn comes the {K-Hearts} and both players check.

The river is the {9-Spades}. Brenes checks, and Espinar fires out a healthy bet of 300,000. Brenes thinks for a minute or two before making the call. Espinar tables {9-?} {3-?}, rivering trip nines. The table waits for Brenes to respond. He looks back at his cards, scrunches up his face, and open-mucks {Q-?} {4-?}. Espinar rakes in a nice pot courtesy of Brenes, drawing the two men very close to even in chips.
