Aguiar Spikes River; Scores Huge Double

Brandon Cantu's reaction when he sees the river.
Brandon Cantu's reaction when he sees the river.

Jonathan Aguiar made it 22,000 from the button and Brandon Cantu three-bet to 70,000. Aguiar flat called and a red flop fell- {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}.

Cantu led for 75,000 only to have Aguiar raise to 270,000. Cantu three-bet to 540,000 and Aguiar sat thinking for about a minute.

"All in," said Aguiar.

"I call," proclaimed Cantu, showing {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nuts.

Aguiar flipped up {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for middle set, meaning that he was drawing live.

The {J-Clubs} on the turn was of no help to him, but the {3-Hearts} drilled the river, giving him eights full of treys and the winning hand. Aguiar now has a commanding chip lead over Cantu.

"Ten-high," said Cantu.

Banter

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

"You've played SO bad and somehow you're still winning," said Brandon Cantu to Jon Aguiar.

"Okay, Phil," Aguiar retorted with a smile.

"Seriously though, you've been outplayed this whole time."

"I'll gladly play heads-up cash after this," Aguiar replied.

"You've got it, buddy." snapped Cantu.

"Show some class," said Aguiar. "You've got what? Three bracelets now? You've never been lucky to win one?"

The mood is suddenly tense here, and Cantu is not a happy customer.
