We caught up to the action on fifth street with Jesse Simonelli already all in. Brandon Cantu had the betting lead and he bet, Ryan Hughes called. On sixth street both Cantu and Hughes checked it.
When seventh street came, Cantu checked. Hughes bet and Cantu hunched over the table. He sweated his cards three or four times.
"How do I miss that," he said to himself. Eventually he decided to fold. Hughes turned up 
for a straight. Simonelli could only produce 
for two pair and that would seal his elimination from the tournament.
"Stay out of my pots Ryan!" Cantu said to Hughes, joking after the pot.
