Aces Following Cantu

Chip Leader Brandon Cantu
Chip Leader Brandon Cantu
Brandon Cantu approached one of our PokerNews reporters and told him that he has been dealt {A-?}{A-?} ten times in the last thirty hands.

Most recently he had them back-to-back to take down another couple of pots.

Following his second placing in Event 39, Cantu will be hoping his current hot rush, near 300,000 in chips, and good form will see him have a crack at the Event 48 gold bracelet.

Kanter Quartered

With all the money going in on the flop, it was Aaron Kanter's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} up against Brandon Cantu's {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Cantu quartered Kanter to leave him crippled with 18,000 as Cantu soars to 280,000 in chips.

Wiesner Exits

Can he repeat?
Can he repeat?
Nathan Wiesner is the next to fall from the tournament when his {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} was no match against Jerrod Ankenman's {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} to see Wiesner hit the rail as Ankenman climbed to 75,000 in chips

Thunder'D By Le Roux

Now safe in the money, Norma Red Thunder pushed all in over a raise from Frederic Le Roux. Le Roux made the call and the cards were tabled.

Thunder: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Le Roux: {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Le Roux made the best low and also the nut-flush for the high to send Thunder to the rail. Le Roux climbs to 40,000 in chips.
