Las Vegas, NV–(HISPANIC PR WIRE)–June 14, 2005–Humberto Brenes, the godfather
of Costa Rican poker, member of the “Costa Rica Connection” and one
of professional poker’s most beloved players is taking on the world’s
best in The World Series of Poker (WSOP), the largest poker tournament in the
world. http://es.sportsbook.com, the Spanish edition of the largest sportsbook
on the planet is currently offering odds on Brenes and all of the top professional
and celebrity players in the tournament.

Brenes sits currently at 1250-1 odds, with favorites Daniel Negreanu and Phil
Ivey both at 300-1. Hollywood stars such as Ben Affleck (2500-1) and Ed Norton
(7500-1), both very accomplished players on the celebrity tour, are considered
long shots for the title according to es.sportsbook.com fans.

Brenes learned how to play poker from his father at age 7 and began playing
poker tournaments a decade ago after a successful career playing baccarat and
craps tournaments throughout the Bahamas. Brenes, who maintains homes in Costa
Rica and Miami Lakes, Florida, runs a number of successful businesses in Costa
Rica including a construction company. Brenes has won two world poker championships.
