More On the Significance of Timing

Brandon Cantu raised to 42,000 from middle position, and Peter Eastgate called from the small blind. Both checked the {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. The turn was the {9-Diamonds}. Eastgate bet 80,000 and Cantu called. The river brought the {3-Clubs}. Eastgate bet 100,000 this time, and Cantu called again.

Eastgate showed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, and Cantu mucked. Eastgate now has 820,000.

The very next hand, Cantu raised to 42,000 from middle position again, and everyone folded. He showed {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} with a shrug, telling the table he's not tilting. Not yet, anyway.

Cantu is still doing well with 1.58 million.
