Cantu Can't Win Them All

It must seem like Brandon Cantu is the only player we are watching, which is only half true. Cantu just so happens to have the reputation to play a ton of pots, and that's exactly what he's doing tonight. While he has won most of them tonight, we did just catch him finally losing one. Eddy Sabat raised to 525, and Cantu called. The cutoff raised it up to 2,100, and it folded around to Sabat, who folded. It was back to Cantu, and he stuck a stack of chips in that had his opponent covered. This exact scenerio played out about 30 minutes ago, and on that hand, Cantu's opponent folded. However, it wasn't the same this time around, as Cantu was snap called.

Cantu: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Cantu was in a world of hurt, and it would only get worse for him, as the flop came down {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. That eliminated one of Cantu's outs, and he would need a miracle to secure the hand. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds}, and that ended things. The river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Cantu's opponent won the pot with a queen high flush. Cantu is still doing fine, sitting on about 42,000
