Cantu Still Moving Up

[user66118]

Chairud Vangchailued limped in from middle position, and Brandon Cantu followed suit on down the line. Alex Jacob completed from the small blind, and Ray Foley tapped the table for a free flop from the big.

With four-way action, the flop came out {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

. The action passed around to the button where Brandon Cantu put out a bet of 150,000. The blinds folded, but Vangchailued came along. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

, and both men checked. The river came the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

, and Vangchailued checked again. Cantu figured he was good for a bet, and he fired 200,000 more at the pot. His opponent called, and Cantu tabled {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

.

His two pair was plenty good to win him the pot.
