"Any Two Cantu" Busts Salsberg

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Matt Salsberg
Matt Salsberg

In the last hand before the break, with just 18 seconds left on the clock, Brandon Cantu opened the cut off to 6,500. In the small blind Matt Salsberg pushed his stack to the middle: 24,100 total. Cantu thought about it for a while and eventually made the call with {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Cantu explained that he was doing Salsberg a favor, giving him the chance to either double up or bust before the hour long dinner break. Salsberg didn't look unhappy with the situation as he showed his {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Cantu would hit on the flop though, which meant bad news for Salsberg: {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn and {8-Diamonds} on the river were not the cards Salsberg was hoping for and while all the players were already on break, Salsberg departed in 41st place ($7,446).
