Cantu Flushed on the River

We happened upon the table just in time to see Cristopher Legaspi get his last 2,200 in the pot on a {J-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{5-Spades} flop and received a call from Brandon Cantu.

Showdown
Cantu: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Legaspi: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Cantu was ahead with a set of kings and with no low draws possible, he was looking to avoid a spade. The {A-Diamonds} turn gave Legaspi a straight draw, but it'd be the {8-Spades} on the river that would give him the flush and the double, which left Cantu shaking his head.

Meanwhile both Jerrod Ankenman and Jeff Madsen have been eliminated from the tournament.

Davis Off to a Good Start

Raymond Davis
Raymond Davis

We were wandering the tournament floor and noticed Raymond Davis had a healthy stack in front of him.

For those who may not be familiar with Davis, he has 17 cashes at the World Series of Poker totaling $392,769. More than half of those cashes have come in non-no-limit hold’em events, meaning he is a bit of a mixed games aficionado.

While a WSOP bracelet has eluded him thus far, Davis has made two final tables. The first came in 2007 when he placed fourth in the $1,000 S.H.O.E. event for $34,012, while the other was earlier this year in Event #8 $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better. While the latter was played as limit, Davis clearly has a knock for )8.

Amazon Players on the Move

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We were just informed that there were four tables in the Orange Section of the Amazon Room. One has already been broken, two are in the process of moving to the Brasilia Room and one table will move as soon as space allows.

Tournament officials are prepping two more tables for action and already a few players have taken their seats.
