Cantu Being Hit Hard

Brandon Cantu is seated at Orange 19, the table known for multiple players going all in on nearly every hand. Cantu hasn't had much luck in those races, and although action has slowed down at his table, he's still taking some rough beats.

On a flop of {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} {10-Hearts} , Cantu led out for 800 after an early-position player checked. A player last to act pushed all in for 4,000 and Cantu made the call. Cantu turned over {Q-Clubs} {2-Spades} for top pair while his opponent showed {10-Clubs} {K-Clubs} for middle pair. The turn brought the {K-Diamonds} and Cantu failed to improve, forcing another rebuy. On the very next hand, Cantu shoved all in and had zero calls from his table, only to turn over pocket aces.

"It doesn't matter what I've got. If it's good or bad, it's coming out bad."
