Brandon Cantu

It's an unlucky blow for Lee Watkinson. He opened for 100,000 from the button. Brandon Cantu reraised to 300,000, bringing a third raise from Watkinson. Cantu quickly got all in and Watkinson called.

Watkinson: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

Cantu:

{A-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

The flop hit Cantu without hitting Watkinson, {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Watkinson was lucky to catch running low cards, {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and

{4-Hearts}

, to salvage one quarter. Even with those chips, he has relinquished the chip lead to Cantu.

Count:

Cantu - 1,970,000
Watkinson - 1,430,000
