Dandrea Doubles Through Cantu

Ever since Raymond Dandrea moved to Brandon Cantu's table, the two have been going at constantly. It looked as though Cantu was going to end it, but Dandrea managed to survive. Here's how the hand played out.

The pot had about 24,000 when we caught the action on the flop, which read {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Dandrea bet out 17,000, and Cantu took little time in raising to 42,500. It was back to Dandrea, who laid back in his chair, and put his hands on his head. After about 20 seconds of thinking, he shoved the rest of his 90,000 stack in, and Cantu called.

Cantu: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Dandrea: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Dandrea would need a ten or a five to win the hand, and he didn't get it on the turn, the {6-Diamonds}. That card did give him some more outs, but he wouldn't need those new outs, as the river brought the {10-Spades} completing his straight. Dandrea doubled through Cantu, who is still near the top of the leader board.
