Cantu Crippled by Straight Flush

After a series of bets, the players saw a flop of {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} including Brandon Cantu. All players opted to take a free card, which ended up being the {7-Spades} on the turn. A player in early position led for 9,500, Cantu called and the third opponent folded.

The river brought the {8-Spades} and again Cantu's opponent led - this time for a hefty 28,500. Cantu called and his opponent opened {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a rivered straight flush!

"Damnit!" Cantu exclaimed as he fired his cards into the muck.

His stack took a big hit, and he is now down to just 10,000 chips.
