Brandon Cantu Eliminated in 2nd Place ($403,951)

Brandon Cantu - 2nd Place
Brandon Cantu - 2nd Place
Brandon Cantu raised to, you guessed it, 305,000, and Foley made the call to see a flop.

It came down {J-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, and fireworks ensued once again. Foley checked, and Cantu put out 450,000 more chips. After just a quick pause, Foley moved all in, sending Cantu into the tank. After about a minute, Cantu shrugged, nodded his head and made the call for his own tournament life.

Showdown
Foley: {J-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Cantu: {J-Spades} {7-Clubs}

Cantu seemed to know what Foley had before the cards were even turned over. Looking to pair his seven, Cantu would find no help as the {10-Clubs} and {5-Spades} filled out the board. With his pair of jacks, queen kicker, Ray Foley has eliminated Brandon Cantu in 2nd place. For his impressive run, the pro will take home more than $400,000 but fall one spot short of his clear goal.
