Cantu Back on Top

[user75032]

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.
