Cantu Runs Into Full House

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

Brandon Cantu raised from the cutoff, JJ Liu called from the small blind, and a third opponent re-raised from the big blind. Both Cantu and Liu called, and the flop came down {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. Liu checked, the third player bet, Cantu called and Liu folded.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, Cantu's opponent check-raised him, and Cantu put in a third bet. His opponent called. The river was the {7-Hearts}, and Cantu's opponent led for the first time.

"Oh my God!" Cantu exclaimed frustratedly.

He eventually tossed in enough chips to call, and his opponent opened {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for aces full. Cantu mucked, but is still very healthy with more than double the starting stack.
