The next "big" final table at the WSOP occurred with my favorite variation of poker, the $5,000 with rebuys Pot Limit Omaha tournament. Being an action game already, the ability to rebuy combined with pros with deep pockets and a disregard for money made for exciting advance towards this bracelet.

With "Mr. Omaha" Robert Williamson III taking a seat on the final table bubble, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott led the at the beginning of the final table. He was looking to take down multi-bracelet winner Humberto Brenes, tournament specialist John Juanda, high stakes player and WPT champ Minh Ly, and local pro Burt Boutin for the $800,000 plus first prize.

Unfortunately, rebuys were not allowed at the final table as Brenes bowed out early to the Devilfish to finish 8th. Ulliot would remain in the hunt until his straight and flush draws did not pan out on hand #91 versus eventual winner Burt Boutin. With a nearly ten to one advantage heads up versus Erik Cajelais, Boutin's nearly identical hand pulled out two pair on the turn to take down the rebuy-crazy event after three days.

Here's a recap from Brad "Otis" Willis at PokerStarsBlog.com from the perspective of Team PokerStars' player Humberto Brenes:

Not a lot of people talk about how much they are in for, but for some people, the bottom money was barely enough to make them feel whole again. Brenes confided late last night, he's in the event for $20,000...a paltry sum considered the auto-re-buys and double add-ons available in the tournament.

The $20,000 now is of little matter. Brenes and everybody else at the table are guaranteed a least a little profit. The question will be whether that profit carries with it the even more valuable bracelet.

It's clear Brenes wants it. While he's wearing both his bracelets from the 1990s on is wrists, his attitude suggests he will not be entirely happy without winning another. Again, I note, he seems more subdued than on the first day of the tournament. During the re-buy period, he was animated, verging on nutty. The TV cameras were conspicuously absent, but Brenes' personality was not.

Now, while Brenes has his SuperShark007 on a side table beside him, his spot in the one-seat is quiet. Like they used to say in the old westerns..."It's quiet. Too quiet." Though he's come in for one raise so far, he's gotten no action.

A five-minute bathroom break leaves the table with eight players remaining, including one Humberto Brenes, his shark waiting to pounce. It wouldn't take long.

With the blinds taking ever-larger bites from his stack, Humberto looked at the dealer and threw his thumb toward the roof. It would be a raise to 120,000, one that would undoubtedly commit him to the pot. Devilfish called and they saw the flop: 2h4h6s. With only 100,000 left to play, Humberto moved all-in. Devilfish called with nary a thought. With two Queens and the heart flush draw, Devilfish was ahead against Humberto's As5s8sKh. With a nine of clubs on the turn and queen of hearts on the river, Humberto was gone.

He gave his shark one last look at the table and then headed for the rail in eighth place. He won $79,710, a tidy $59,000 profit.

"I had to move," he said on his way out. He accepted congratulations with a "Muchos gracias," and walked out.

It's sort of hard to consider if you're an outsider. Most people would be happy to be handed $80,000. However, after you've battled through the toughest field in the World Series so far this year, an eighth place finish is less than inspiring. The disappointment was evident on Brenes' face.

Still, after 35 years and 20 final tables, Brenes knows how to handle this. The first week of this year's World Series is still days away from being over. The chances for another bracelet are many.

Or, if you will, the shark still has time to feed.
