Cantu Can Do

Brandon Cantu, from Day 3
Brandon Cantu, from Day 3

Brandon Cantu opened with a raise from middle position and it folded around to the player on the button who made the call. The blinds got out, and the flop came {Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Cantu checked, and his opponent checked as well.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs}. This time Cantu set out a bet of 11,500 -- a bit over half the pot -- and his opponent called. The river then brought the {10-Clubs}. Cantu bet 30,700 this time, and his opponent tanked for a while before finally making the call.

"Straight," said Cantu, flipping over his {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. His opponent tossed his cards dealerward. Cantu chips up over 350,000 on that one.
