Wei Mu - 3rd Place

In the cutoff, Brandon Cantu came in raising to 275,000. The small blind ducked out, but Wei Mu came along from the big.

The flop showed up {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

. Mu checked, and Cantu continued out with a bet of 350,000. Mu quickly announced that he was all in, and Cantu instantly called with that not-so-sure ring to his voice.

Showdown
Mu: {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

Cantu:

{K-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

Cantu had it right, he was ahead and dominating Mu. The turn {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

was useless, as was the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

that hit fifth street. With his ten kicker playing, Brandon Cantu has knocked off Wei Mu in 3rd place. The pay bump for Mu takes him up close to $270,000, not too bad for three days' work.
