Cantu Back on Top

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Remember what we said about big pots and big swings? Brandon Cantu has gone from last place to first place in the span of just a few hands. Sitting in the big blind, he called a raise to 90,000 made by Mathieu Jacqmin from the button. Cantu opened for 195,000 on a flop of {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

, a bet that Jacqmin raised to 500,000. It seemed that Cantu meant to go all in at that point but announced just a call.

It didn't matter. The rest of Cantu's 135,000 chips were in on the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

turn. Jacqmin called with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

, a live four and two pair. Cantu had him beat the low with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

, a live trey. The river {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

gave Cantu a wheel to scoop the whole pot.

Cantu is up to 1.465 million, while Jacqmin slipped back to 815,000.
