En Enjoys Eliminating Kanter

Richard En is running great. He raised to 900 preflop and was called only by Aaron Kanter from the small blind. On a flop of {8-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, Kanter checked and called after En bet 1,200. The turn came {A-Diamonds}. Kanter again checked and called a bet of 4,000 from En.

On the river {J-Spades}, Kanter checked a third time. En eyeballed Kanter's stack and bet 9,500. Kanter stacked all of his chips into one tall stack and pushed them over the betting line. He then picked up his cards and held them face-down as if ready to muck. Once the dealer determined that Kanter had called all in for a total of 9,100, En opened {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} for a set of eights. Kanter immediately dropped his cards face-down on the table, gathered his belongings and exited the tournament area.

En is up to 42,000.
