"Don't Worry, I'll Show"

With a {Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} board lying patiently on the felt, Brandon Cantu popped out a bet of 4,200 and awaited his opponent's decision. As William Martin deliberated, Cantu commented, "Lay it down, I'll show." Martin made a defiant call.

A {10-Spades} on the river triggered a deep reach from Cantu, who shoved in just about enough chips to put his foe all in. As Martin ummed and aahed, Cantu repeated his previous offer: "Don't worry, I'll show," slurred the former WPT winner.

Martin ultimately released his hand, and was shown {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.
