Cantu Way Down

Pot-Limit Omaha

A monster PLO pot recently occurred between Alexey Makarov and Brandon Cantu which saw Cantu stumble down in the chip rankings with Makarov shooting upwards.

Makarov had checked on a board of {4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades} when Cantu bet 21,000. Makarov countered by going all in for 48,000 total and Cantu made the call.

Cantu: {2-}{3-}{5-}{6-}
Makarov: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Cantu was ahead with a straight, but Makarov was drawing to a higher straight and a flush. He found the flush with the {3-Hearts} on the river leading an expletive to be shout across the room.
