Chow Bests Cantu

Michael Chow
Michael Chow

We caught the action on fifth street when Brandon Cantu bet and received a call from Michael Chow. Both players then checked sixth, while Cantu did the same on seventh. Chow took the opportunity to bet 20,000, which Cantu called.

"Eight low," Chow said as he rolled over his hand, which was good enough to win the pot.

Cantu: (x-x) / {7-}{5-}{J-}{Q-} / (x)
Chow: (x-x) / {A-}{10-}{10-}{5-} / (x) ({3-}{5-}{7-})

"Unbelievable," was all Cantu could muster as he counted out the chips to pay off his opponent.

Scott Fishman brought it in with a {K-} and Brandon Cantu completed. A short-stacked David Rosenau then raised all in for 14,000 total, which both Fischman and Cantu called. Fischman proceeded to check-call bets on the turn, fifth and sixth, and then bet when Cantu checked seventh. Cantu thought for a long time before he folded.

Fischman: (x-x) / {K-}{6-}{4-}{K-} / (x) ({7-}{5-}{3-})
Rosenau: (x-x) / {7-}{3-}{2-}{7-} / (x) ({2-}{5-}{6-})
Cantu: (x-x) / {8-}{3-}{A-}{7-} / (x)

Rosenau ended up with three pair and was dispatched in ninth place by Fischman's 7-6-5-4-3 low.

Jeff Misteff completed with a {6-} and then called a raise from Barry Greenstein, who was showing an {A-}. Misteff then fired the turn and Greenstein called, action that would be repeated on fifth street. On sixth, Misteff bet, Greenstein raised, Misteff three-bet and Greenstein called off his last 11,000.

Greenstein: {5-}{7-} / {A-}{8-}{4-}{2-} / {4-}
Misteff: {2-}{4-} / {6-}{3-}{2-}{7-} / {7-}

Misteff had a 7-6 low when the money went in but it was behind the 7-5 low of Greenstein. Misteff was unable to improve on seventh and Greenstein locked up the double.
