Cantu Cannot Bluff His Opponent

In a big blind versus blind battle, Brandon Cantu check-raised his opponent to 8,500 on a flop of {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. The player than reraised to 18,800. Cantu asked for a count on his opponent's stack and got an approximate amount. He then moved all in and was met with a call after the slightest of hesitations from the player.

"God damnit!! F**k!! F**k!!" yelled Cantu as he smacked his fist on the felt in front of his chips. he then tabled nothing but king high with {K-Spades} {8-Spades}. His opponent held {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} for a flopped set.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} before Cantu pleaded, "Ten! Ten!" It wouldn't come though when the {A-Hearts} hit the river to give his opponent a full house.

The total amount owed was 49,100 owed to his opponent and Cantu shipped it on over as he sat completely upset with the hand. He was left with just 10,000 chips.
