Cantu Quick to Table Tens

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Just before the break Brandon Cantu and Michael Rocco clashed in a pot with a little bit of banter afterwards. Rocco won the pot but Cantu wasn't to eager to show his hand in that pot.

Just now they battled it out again but this time they both were eager to show their hands. Brandon Cantu opened to 5,500 from the hijack/under the gun plus one position and Michael Rocco made it 16,600 from the button. After Erick Lindgren and Daniel Negreanu folded their blinds, Cantu inquired about the size of Rocco's stack. Rocco lifted up his arms and Cantu knew enough: all in. Rocco called instantly and they had to table their hands:

Michael Rocco{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Brandon Cantu{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out as followed: {9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades} | {5-Hearts} | {7-Clubs}.

"One of these days, I'll hit," Rocco said.

"Not today!" Cantu snap replied as he started stacking the chips.
