Brenes Is Saved on the River
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
All the chips went in the middle on the flop 8?2?3? between Humberto Brenes, at risk for a remaining stack worth 20,000, and his opponent, who had him covered:
Humberto Brenes: K?K?
Opponent: J?J?
Brenes had the dominated hand but a J? showed up on the turn to give a set of jacks to his opponent. Brenes was ready to be eliminated, but a miracle K? landed on the river to give the winning hand to Brenes and the double up.
