Cantu's Courageous Call

[user57954]

With the board reading {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

and already 7,000 in the pot, Eric Assadourian leads out with a bet of 6,000 on the river. His opponent, Brandon Cantu in the cutoff goes into the tank with a huge decision.

Assadourian quips "I promise you one thing, I don't have a king" as he casually banters with other players at the table.

Eventually Cantu makes the call and shows pocket eights! Amazingly they are good as Assadourian shows {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

for nothing but air!

Following the dinner break Assadourian has doubled up two other players including Sarah Bilney and is now down to 24,000 in chips.
