Born May 8, 1951, Humberto Brenes is one of the most unique poker players in the world. He is often seen at the poker table wearing a colorful track suit, a visor, and two pairs of glasses, one on top of the other. He is sponsored to play poker by Pokerstars.

This native Costa Rican is also full of Latin charm, as he is also one of the most charismatic players at the table. He compliments his crazy looks with crazy antics, having a figurine of a shark that he plays with whenever he pushes all of his chips in.

Humberto Brenes started playing poker when he was 7, learning the game from his father.  Humberto was a baccarat player before he turned to poker, a game where he could take money away from all of the tourists visiting the casino.  Humberto has won two World Series of Poker bracelets, the first coming in 1993 in the $2500 Limit Holdem event, and the second also coming in 1993 at the $2500 Pot Limit Omaha event.  Humberto has made several World Poker Tour final tables, but has not won an event, although his brothers Alex and Erick have each won a WPT title.

Humberto earned a degree in industrial engineering from his studies at the University of Costa Rica and is an outstanding businessman.  He owns or has owned a television station, a construction company, and many different restaurants.

Humberto Brenes still lives in San Jose, Costa Rica.  He plays online at PokerStars using the screenname Humberto B.
