Cantu a Little Steamed

Martijn Schirp has been playing aggressively for most of the day and isn't slowing down on the bubble. He recently opened a pot for 12,000 from the button and was called by big blind Brandon Cantu. Both players checked an ace-high flop, {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Cantu fired a bet of 16,000 on the turn {5-Clubs}. Schirp called.

When the river fell {j-Spades}, Cantu threw his hands into the air. "This happens every single time!" he said. "Every single time." He then rapped out a woodpecker-like check.

"Are you going to fold now if I bet?" asked an amused Schirp. He tried a bet of 25,000 and sure enough Cantu folded.
