Cantu Doubles Through Ivey

Level 17
Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu

2-7 Triple Draw

We arrived at the table in time to find a sizable pot building pre-draw between Brandon Cantu and Phil Ivey. On the first draw, Ivey took two new cards and Cantu followed suit. Ivey led out with a bet and Cantu raised all in for 1,000 more. Ivey called.

The second draw saw Ivey pull one new card while Cantu once again opted for two. On the final draw, both players took one.

Ivey: {8-}{5-}{4-}{2-}
Cantu: {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}

Ivey squeezed his card out first.

"It's a no spotter," said Ivey, rolling over the {2-Hearts} and pairing his deuce.

Cantu then squeezed his card.

"No spotter," he said. "Er- wait. It's a two spotter. Sorry about that." He tabled a {5-}, making his eighty-seven and ensuring a double up.

At that, Ivey rolled his eyes and let out a chuckle, eliciting a big laugh from table mate Daniel Negreanu. Cantu raked the double and now has about 30,000 in chips.
