Brandon Cantu - Where Deck Meets Face

Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu

Brandon Cantu's face is black and blue, in a metaphorical sense. He's been smacked by the deck so far today, the latest evidence being the following.

Dmitry Gromov opened to 10,200 preflop and Cantu 3-bet in the small blind to 26,600. A pretty quick call from the Russian.

The flop of {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} saw Cantu continue with a 50,000 chip bet on the wet board and Gromov made a speedy call. Both players checked the {K-Hearts} turn before Cantu fired out another 50,000 very quickly on the {2-Clubs} river, his fingers slightly shaking as he put out two small stacks of 5k chips. Gromov thought for a moment before folding and Cantu said, "Just to show you I'm not messing around," turning over {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}.

"Wow, aces again?" said Thomas Thang.

"So far, I've had full house, aces, aces and two pair today!" said Cantu sounding slightly bemused by his own good fortune.
