Cantu/Martin Controvery Update
Level 6
Earlier we posted about an altercation that occurred between Brandon Cantu and Jesse Martin that arose from a specific hand between Cantu and Matt Szymaszek.
According to WSOP staff, after the dust settled, Cantu was asked to leave that area and missed what was equivalent to roughly three orbits of play. Security reviewed the footage and saw that Cantu did indeed push Martin after being verbally provoked, but no punches were thrown. Both players were issued a warning with the threat of disqualification from the tournament should any further issues arise.
