On a board of {Q-Spades}

, Bradon Cantu losses to a set of queens while holding a Brandon Cantu type of hand (anyone remember his Main Event call with 10-5 against aces?).

Cantu asked us not to report what he was holding, but it was not enough to win the pot.

Left with only 1,200 after the loss, he was eliminated on the next hand.
