Foley Showing Cantu How it's Done

Ray Foley

Just before the break, Ray Foley relieved Brandon Cantu of about a half million chips of his chips. Now returning from break, we find the two men tangled up again.

On a flop of {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, Cantu checked, then called a bet of 225,000. The turn card fell the {K-Clubs}, and both men checked this time. On the river, the {4-Diamonds} drew another check from Cantu. "Three hundred," Foley said quickly. Cantu let out a big frustrated sigh and quickly made the call.

"Aces," said Foley, showing down {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}. Cantu was visibly frustrated with the showdown, unable to show anything to beat pocket rockets.

Foley has now come out on top of two consecutive confrontations with Cantu. After that last exchange, the man from Detroit is the chip leader with about 2,700,000. Cantu has slipped all the way back to 950,000.
