We didn't catch the hand but we talked to some players at Humberto Brenes' table after seeing him missing. According to some of the players, "The Shark" got all his money in on the turn with against . Unfortunately for Brenes, the other player had already flopped quad jacks.
"He slow rolled him too," some of the players at the table explained.
All we know for sure is that Brenes is gone after busting his second bullet.

Vanessa Selbst recently busted Event #2: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Eight Handed), but she's back on track for another bracelet by immediately hopping into this event. She's seated at a table with Daniel Negreanu, who's also on his second bullet of the day. We also spotted Chad Brown at a nearby table.

A few more players have shown up, including Kevin Vandersmissen who won the Irish Open last year.
In a recent hand Vandersmissen lost a large chunk of his stack after calling a player's preflop all in. Vandersmissen was holding while his opponent held . The board ran out and Vandersmissen was forced to ship over a portion of his chips. After the hand he dropped to just about 1,400 in chips.
Also joining the field with Vandersmissen are Kenny Tran and Paul Volpe, both on their second bullet. And it appears that we have also lost Chris Tryba in the fray.
