Cantu Half-Doubles

[user46392]

Brandon Cantu got his last chips in on fourth street against David Sklansky and one more player; the two not all in continued betting down fifth, sixth and seventh to form a chunky side pot which Sklansky took possession of at the end of the hand, as well as half of the main pot. Cantu was the only player who made a low, though, so got himself half of the main pot for his trouble, and remains in on an uncomfortable 2,500 or so.
