Cantu Wielding Chips Like Bear With a Sledgehammer

Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu

Watching the table he's joined (along with Arnaud Mattern) for five hands in a row saw three of them, the biggest, go to Brandon Cantu. He siphoned off 5,800 of the Frenchman's stack on the turn of a board reading {9-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} before betting big - 22k - on the river and getting a fold from Mattern. He then turned his attention to Huck Seed in the big blind, who'd repopped him to 4k preflop, only to find Cantu throwing in enough red 5k chips to cover him (25k). Seed got to his timebank the moment it opened and stayed until closing time, calling the clock on himself before finally throwing his hand.

"You've got to show now after all that," he threw out there, but Cantu was in no mood to cooperate. Still, worth a try.
