Timeline
Humberto Brenes (born May 8, 1951) is a Costa Rican professional poker player.
Brenes currently resides in Miami Lakes, Florida with his wife (Patricia) and three children (José Humberto, Roberto, Jessica).
Brenes began his gambling career playing baccarat, but later made his way into poker.
He started to play tournaments in 1974 and became a regular tournament player in 1988.
However, with the 83rd-place finish, Brenes made WSOP history with the largest number of Main Event players outlasted in a two-year span with 15,012.
In 1988, he made the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event, finishing in fourth place and winning $83,050.
He has collected two WSOP bracelets, cashed 72 times at the WSOP and made three World Poker Tour final tables.
Brenes's two bracelets came at the 1993 World Series of Poker in limit Texas hold 'em and pot limit Omaha.
He also finished first, winning $502,460 at the Jack Binion 2002 World Poker Open, beating Erik Seidel heads up.
Brenes's unique dress makes him easy to spot at tournaments, as he tends to wear bright tracksuits, two pairs of glasses, one on top of the other, and a visor.
He uses a toy shark as a card protector, the origin of his nickname.
A relentless self-promoter, the bright tracksuit and toy shark are consistent with Brenes' ostentatious personality; he will often use the shark to belittle his opponents, thus gaining himself more time in front of the cameras.
He is also known for singing during hands.
He also is a member of Team PokerStars.
Brenes plays under the screen name "HumbertoB".
Two of his brothers, Alex Brenes and Eric Brenes, have won World Poker Tour titles.
He tied with Phil Hellmuth, Jr. for highest number of money finishes (eight) in the 2006 WSOP.
In 2006, Brenes finished 36th in the WSOP Main Event in a field of 8,773 and then in 2007, Brenes cashed in the money again in the $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event Championship, placing 83rd out of a field of 6,358 players, winning $82,476.
In the hand Brenes with approximately 1,500,000 in chips had raised to 85,000, Khan then re-raised to 205,000, Brenes in dramatic fashion then went all-in holding and was instantly called by Khan who held pocket Aces, one of which was a spade.
The board came 3♠ 5♠ K♠ 10♠ giving Khan the ace high flush.
As of 2013, his total live tournament winnings exceed $6,000,000.
His 72 cashes in the WSOP account for $2,264,333 of those winnings, which he takes credit personally but also attributes greatly to his mentor and coach, Andrés "El Pemorado" Calderón.
Humberto Brenes has been selected among the 10 finalists to enter the hall of fame of poker 2013.
