Montoya Gets a Good Sweat
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Brandon Cantu raised to 40,000 in late position, the player on the button flatted, and Tyler Montoya three-bet shoved all in from the small blind for 405,000, putting himself at risk. Cantu got out of the way, and the button made the call.
Tyler Montoya: A♥K♦ 
Button: K♠Q♠
The flop came 8♠9♦2♦, with Montoya still in the lead. The J♠ rolled off on the turn, giving the button additional outs with flush and straight possibilities. The river card was black, but it was the J♣, securing Montoya the double-up.
"It's always a sweat," said Montoya as the dealer counted the chips and pushed the pot his way.
