Bet It 'Til You Get It

With 3,000 in the pot and the board showing {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}, Brandon Cantu checked to his lone opponent, who bet 1,200. Cantu raised to 3,600 and was called.

The turn came {K-Diamonds}. Cantu bet 5,200 and was called again. On the river {A-Spades}, he made a big bet, firing out 11,000. For the third time, he was called. He turned over {9-Spades} {6-Spades} for a rivered flush, which was good to drag the pot and increase his chip stack to 53,000.
