Brenes Heating Up

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Humberto Brenes entered Day 2 with 74,000, but what a difference a level and half can make in a tournament.

Midway through Level 19, Brenes looked comfortable with more than 400,000 in front of him. Brenes added to his stack when he called fellow WSOP bracelet winner Michael Gagliano, who moved all in on the button as a short stack after Brenes raise at the cutoff. Brenes immediately called.

Brenes: A?K?
Gagliano: K?10?

The dealer placed 5?3?A?7?Q? on the board, giving Brenes top pair, which sent Gagliano to the rail.
