Cantu Takes His "Worst Beat of this WSOP By Far"

Brandon Cantu: //
Thomas Taylor: //

Brandon Cantu retold a bad beat hand to PokerNews following a big lost pot.

On third street, Cantu completed, he was called by Ben Diebold. There was a third bet put in by another player that was not identified in the retelling. Thomas Taylor called the three-bet, Diebold got out of the way, the three-bettor then put in a fourth bet. Taylor and Cantu both called.

From that point action was not told but Cantu emphasized how he had rolled-up sevens. While Taylor had buried tens and even though Cantu had a deuce, Taylor hit the three remaining deuces on fourth, fifth and sixth streets to make a full house. Cantu bricked the rest of the way to leave his rolled-up sevens unimproved and Taylor took the big pot.

Cantu said that the odds of him losing that hand with the cards shown was 424-to-1, according to what he had looked up. He called it "my worst beat of this year's WSOP by far."
