Upon arriving at the table, we discovered that the black all-in circle was sitting in front of Brandon Cantu on a board of . There was roughly 30,000 in the middle, and after the dealer broke down one of Cantu's stacks, he and Josh Arieh determined that the all-in bet was for 57,175.
Matt Waxman, winner of the Season X WPT Grand Prix de Paris, was his opponent, and he cut out enough chips to make the call. He separated them from the rest of his stack, then turned to examine Cantu, who was sitting quite still. After 90 seconds or so, Waxman went to push the chips forward, paused for another five seconds, then called.
Cantu ripped over for a set of sevens, prompting Waxman to flick his cards into the muck. Cantu now sits with around 145,000 chips, while Waxman is left with just 25,000.
"You gotta write down this hand" said Scott Baumstein as we we're trying to figure out the action in a big hand at his table. Baumstein wasn't involved in the hand himself, but was very excited about it. And with good reason, the hand was one of the craziest we've written about yet this summer. It's still early in the series but it does say something.
According to Baumstein, Sam Stein had opened under-the-gun plus one and then called when Caufman Talley three-bet from the button. Stein check-called a bet on , and check-raised on the on the turn. Talley made the call and both players saw the fall on the river. Stein bet out 17,600 with only 15,750 behind. Talley immediately shoved all in putting all the pressure in the world on Stein. Stein had a lot of trouble coming up with his answer to that situation, but eventually made the call by putting his chips in the middle.
Talley had a weird smirk on his face as he confessed he didn't have anything. Stein showed his for flopped trips and Talley wanted to muck. The dealer was strict though; since it was an all-in showdown Talley had to show. The moment we had all been waiting for was there. With what hand had Talley three-bet preflop, bet the flop, bet and called the turn and raised the river all in? It was... for absolutely nothing.
Stein now has close to 100,000 in chips, while Talley has to work with a stack containing one zero less than that.
When we arrived at Table 412, Joshua Field was all in and at risk for 23,500 with against the of Takashi Ogura. The board came , and Field received a full double.

Antonio Esfandiari had 4,400 in front of him, acting out of the hijack. Moorman had made it 8,600 from the button and called as fast as possible when Esfandiari had put him allin for 27,525. Esfandiari had to go to battle with while Moorman showed up with . After the turn the fight was already done, as Moorman made a fullhouse out of his aces: | | .

There was a beat, and Meyers made the call.

Meyers was looking for a spade to double, but he picked up six more outs when the turned. Now, any ace or jack would counterfeit Reiman's two pair. Meyers didn't hit one of his six new outs, but he did hit a spade when the completed the board, making his spade flush. He doubled to around 65,000 chips, while Reiman was left with just 23,500.
