Brandon Cantu Eliminated

On a board showing {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}, first action was passed to Brandon Cantu who shoved the last of his chips across the betting line. His opponent tanked a bit before making the call, tabling {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for an up-and-down straight draw as well as a flush draw. Cantu revealed pocket kings for the mortal nuts.

A fateful {3-Hearts} fell on the turn, shifting the lead to Cantu's opponent and a meaningless {6-Clubs} on the river sealed the deal, sending Cantu to the rail.
