Roberto Brenes Bubbles
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
48 players in the LAPT Peru Main Event are now in the money. Their jubilation comes at the expense of Roberto Brenes. He three-bet to 50,000 with after Joao Neto opened to 10,000. Neto moved in, forcing Brenes to put his last 40,000 into the pot. Neto showed down pocket jacks. The flop came with two spades, , and the turn paired Brenes' nine. The river, however, was the blank to end Brenes' tournament.
"VAMO!" shouted Neto. He grabbed the Brazilian flag off of Andre Akkari's chair, waved it, and added, "Brasil!"
"Jesus, a guy just bubbled," said the still steaming Derek Lerner. "This isn't the World Cup."
