Brenes Shoves as Bubble Bursts
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Hoa Luong opened to 3,000 from UTG+1 and Humberto Brenes three-bet to 9,000 from early position. Squanto Oakley then four-bet to 23,000 from middle position, which folded Luong out.
Brenes called us to his table and said in his distinctive accent, "Humberto's going all in!" at which point he took out a coin and flipped it. As the coin hit the felt he moved all in. Oakley called.
Oakley: 
Brenes: 
The board ran out 
and Brenes doubled up. As Brenes was stacking his chips after winning with aces, another player at the far side of the room had his aces cracked and became the unfortunate soul who burst the bubble. The surviving players are now guaranteed at least $2,773 for their efforts.
