Cantu Takes One

Brandon Cantu had the button. He opened to 10,000 and Jonathan Aguiar called.

The two saw a {j-Hearts}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop and Aguiar check-called a 13,000 bet. The {A-Hearts} paired the board on the turn and Aguiar checked for a second time. Cantu bet 38,000 and Aguiar called. The {10-Hearts} rivered and Aguiar checked again. Cantu moved 125,000 into the middle and Aguiar thought for about a minute before letting go.

Diamonds are Aguiar's Best Friend

Jonathan Aguiar has had trouble gaining momentum in this heads up match but we've finally seen a sizable pot go his way.

Brandon Cantu opened to 12,000 from the button and Aguiar called. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Aguiar check-called 15,000. He check-called once again on the {2-Diamonds} river, this time for 40,000. The board finished with the {A-Diamonds}, putting a third diamond out there.

Aguiar checked for a third time and Cantu bet 125,000. Aguiar slowly and deliberately counted out 319,000 and raised to that amount. Cantu called.

Aguiar showed {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a diamond flush and took down the pot.
