Cantu Gets Massive Double Up
Action was caught on the flop of 7♦A♥10♦, in a hand between Brandon Cantu in middle position, the player in the cutoff and the player in the small blind.
With about 100,000 in the pot, the small blind checked, Cantu bet 24,000, and the cutoff called. The small blind then came over the top with a raise to 135,000 and Cantu made the call. The cutoff then moved all in, the small blind folded, and Cantu went into the tank.
Cantu counted out his chips, and with about 455,000 behind, Cantu's opponent had him covered. After some serious thought, Cantu almost put in the call and then went back into the tank, mentioning that he was considering making the biggest fold of his life.
After some more contemplating, Cantu eventually tossed in a handful of chips, signaling the call.
Brandon Cantu: A♠10♠ 
Opponent: A♦6♦
The turn landed the K♥ and the river brought the 8♥, with Cantu dodging diamonds to secure a huge double up.
