Cantu Doubles Short Stack, Then Gets It Back

Brandon Cantu raised under the gun to 1,600, and the next player to act moved all in for about 3,000 more. It folded back to Cantu, who crunched the numbers, and tossed in the call. When the cards were tabled, Cantu saw that he was in bad shape.

Cantu: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs}, and Cantu shipped the chips over to his opponent, saying afterwards, "I wish you had a couple thousand more so I could have folded."

Well it didn't take long for Cantu to jump back into it. On the next hand, the hijack raised to 1,600, and the small blind called. Cantu raised to 5,125 in the small blind, and only the hijack called. The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Cantu led out for 5,375. His opponent thought for just a few seconds before folding, and Cantu frustratingly showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for middle set. Cantu then said "that's the last one I show you guys" as he raked in the chips.
