LAPT Playa Conchal: BrenesWatch, Part 1

A few tables away, everyone's favorite shark-lover Humberto sported some unusual headwear. Typically found in his signature white visor adorned with the Costa Rican flag, Humberto is playing out Day 1 in a hat emblazoned with the Mexican flag, the result of being on the losing end of a prop bet with fellow Team Pro Angel Guillen. At the recently completed America's Cup of Poker, each man took their home country in a soccer match between Mexico and Costa Rica, the loser required to wear a hat from the opposite country at the next LAPT event. Needless to say, the Costa Ricans found themselves on the losing end, and Humberto is donning the red, white and green today.

Across the room, Humberto's youngest son, 18-year old Roberto landed on one of the more difficult tables in the room, captained by online sensation David "WhooooKidd" Baker. Playing in the tight-aggressive style he no doubt learned from his father, Roberto is hanging tough with 19,000 in chips.
