Brenes' Shark Battles a Skull

Humberto Brenes is well known for his little shark toys at the poker table. In this hand, Brenes raised from early position to 1,100. An opponent in middle position reraised to 1,900 and then a third player, from middle position, moved all in over the top for 6,000. When the action got back on Brenes, he moved all in as well for a total of 5,850, spreading his chips all over the felt to confuse his opponents.

Brenes even moved his shark towards one of his opponent's skull card protector in his normal, crazy fashion. The player that made it 1,900 then folded.

Brenes showed A-K as did the first player to move all in.

The players chopped the pot by making a broadway straight and split up the blinds and antes plus the player's 1,900. Brenes gave one last chomp to the top of the skull after he collected his chips.
