Right Call, Wrong Turn for Hansen

Level 7

No-Limit Hold'em

Right before the break a big hand arose involving Gus Hansen and Brandon Cantu. A significant pot had already developed by the flop with the board showing {4-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Hearts}, at which point Cantu had shipped his last 105,000 into the middle, forcing Hansen deep into the tank.

Finally the Dane emerged to make the call, turning over {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top pair of kings, and he was glad to see Cantu turning over {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for bottom pair of fours.

Hansen was decidedly less pleased once the dealer delivered the turn, however — the {7-Spades}. Two pair for Cantu, and after the {8-Clubs} river Cantu had scored a big double while Hansen was left muttering.
