Big Slick Prevails for Cantu

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Brandon Cantu was under the gun and raised to 1,800. A player in middle position responded by moving all in for 7,475, which cleared the field back around to Cantu. He made the call and the cards were turned up.

Cantu: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Big slick had Cantu out in front and the {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} strengthened his position by delivering him a flush draw. The {J-Spades} was close to a queen, but safe as far as Cantu was concerned. When the {5-Spades} blanked on the river, Cantu raked in the pot. He is up to 22,000.
