An Unfortunate Turn

Brandon Cantu

Apparently it's the time of night to play mammoth pots for rolls.

On a flop of {A-?} {Q-?} {2-?}, Brandon Cantu was heads up in a raised pot with Mary Jones. Cantu checked, and Jones put out 70,000 chips. Without too much hesitation, Cantu moved all in with a covering stack. Jones called for her tournament life, pushing all ~310,000 chips into the pot.

Showdown
Cantu: {A-?} {2-?}
Jones: {A-?} {10-?}

Cantu had flopped it rich, leaving Jones with one foot out the door. Lightning struck the turn though, as another {10-?} ripped off the deck, improving Jones to the higher two pair. The river was a blank, and a very frustrated Brandon Cantu started counting out the double-up chips.

Cantu has been atop the pack for most of the day without a slip-up. All that hard work is washed away with the turn of a card though, and Cantu is all the way back to 160,000.

Jones, meanwhile, is now the one chasing the top spot. She's been given a big boost up to 645,000.
