Famed Costa Rican poker pro Humberto Brenes eliminated fellow countryman Felipe Montenegro from the Punta Cana Poker Classic with what organizers were calling a “Chayote”.
Here we go with our somewhat haphazard explanation of what a “chayote” is:
A flop of jack seven appeared. Humberto reraised that flop then Felipe bet it. Humbertro raised. Felipe reraised. Humberto showed. Fleipe had an ace jack. Humberto had a queen seven. The flop was a jack three seven. Felipe bet Humberto and moved all-in. Felipe called. The turn was queen. The river was a random card. Felipe was eliminated.
And there you have it, a “chayote”.
Brenes was among the 165 players still left in the $500,000 guaranteed tournament after Midnight Wednesday. He was taking part with four of his brothers.
