Cantu Quartered by Jacqmin

Mathieu Jacqmin has shown the most willingness to mix things up at this final table. He raised preflop to 50,00, then called a reraise from button player Brandon Cantu, who made it 174,000 to go. Jacqmin made what looked like a stop-and-go maneuver on a flop of {8-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Spades}. Cantu called...

Jacqmin: {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs}
Cantu: {A-Spades} {k-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades}

It turned out that Jacqmin's nut low draw and pair of eights were ahead of Cantu's nut low draw and pair of threes -- but Cantu also had a nut spade draw to go along with it. The {Q-Diamonds} on the turn was a blank for both players; the {4-Clubs} river gave Jacqmin three-quarters of the pot.

A frustrated Cantu slammed some chips into the felt after the river came down. His count is back down to 1,032,000. Jacqmin is up to 472,000.
