Cantu Pushing to 90k as River Bet Gets Called.

We caught up to Brandon Cantu on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. He had checked from the small blind, and his opponent had bet 1,200. Cantu check raised to 3,700. His opponent thought momentarily before calling.

The turn came the {7-Spades} and action went check.

The {7-Hearts} fell on the river and this time Cantu fired 9,500. His opponent tanked for several minutes before calling. Cantu showed {Q-Spades}{2-Spades} and his opponent instantly mucked.

On the very next hand, Brandon called his opponents 3,000 chip river bluff with a pair of aces on a paired board and he scooped another pot.

Cantu is now sitting with 87,600 chips.
