Brandon Cantu wasn't a happy bunny after he called a river raise from Roger Hairabedian.
Hairabedian raised to 20,000 and Cantu called before both checked the 
flop. Cantu then went on to bet 26,000 and 65,000 on the 
turn and river.
Hairabedian raised the river bet up to 180,000, taking Cantu by surprise. He made a confident sounding call and was shown 
for two-pair. Cantu let out a few profanities and mucked.
