Rentes Gets Some Help

Limit Hold'em:

Jonathan Tamayo has the button in Seat 6. When Binger folds to him, Tamayo puts in a raise. Frank Gary folds from the small blind, and it's on the short-stacked Chris Rentes. He reraises, putting himself all in for 33,000 total. Tamayo quickly makes the call and we see the players' hands:

Tamayo: {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}
Rentes: {4-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

Rentes is behind, but holds two suited live cards. He catches up quickly though, as the flop comes out {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {8-Spades}, vaulting Rentes into the lead. The turn and river come {10-Clubs} and {Q-Diamonds} respectively, doubling him up over 70,000.
