Humberto Brenes just hadn't been himself all day. After a Monday that was a lot like a summer day on Amity Island, Humberto Brenes' shark found himself in shallow waters today in the $5,000 PLO re-buy event. Many members of the media commented that Brenes had been unusually quiet, and his shark "SuperShark 007" wasn't seeing much time on the felt.

As the evening grew late, Brenes found himself among the final ten players in the event. Still, he remaining quiet. That was until Robert Williamson III tried and failed to play the role of Chief Brody. Williamson got his money in behind--but drawing pretty live--on the flop. By the turn, Williamson had two pair to Brenes' overpair. However, the river brought a straight for Brenes...and out came SuperShark.

It took another half hour, but eventually Williamson's flopped flush wasn't bigger than Devilfish's flopped flush. And then there were nine.

As mentioned in today's previous report, The Official Nut, Brenes already has one Omaha bracelet. Tomorrow, although against long odds against some huge chips stacks, Brenes will go for his second Omaha bracelet.
