Cantu Hates the River

Hasan Habib opened pre-flop for 16,000 and was called by an in-position Brandon Cantu. When the flop came highly coordinated, {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, Habib checked and called a bet of 22,000 from Cantu. Both players checked the turn when it brought four to a straight, {7-Hearts}. Habib led out for 45,000 on the {2-Hearts} river, and that brought some complaints from Cantu.

"So gross!" he said. He couldn't stop himself from tossing 45,000 calling chips into the pot. Habib turned over the nuts, {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

"Goddammit!" Cantu yelled. "So unbelievable." He's down to 210,000 in chips. Habib is up to a very comfortable 865,000.
