Bourgeois Flips Out Cantu

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brandon Cantu raised to 13,000 from the cutoff before Blaise Bourgeois three-bet to 40,000. Cantu then shoved for 125,000 and Bourgeois snap-called.

Brandon Cantu: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Blaise Bourgeois: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

It was a classic flip, one the bracelet winner would not come out on the right side of. The {k-Diamonds} came on the flop to give Bourgeois a pair of kings, and the rest of the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Bourgeois got up from his seat and gave a big fist pump when the river was dealt. After Cantu had walked away, even the dealer gave Bourgeois a big "woo."
