Enter Brandon Cantu

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

Another of the players to register late today and show up right at the end of registration was Brandon Cantu, and it looks like registering late may have paid off for him.

We caught up to Cantu on a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}. There he checked to his opponent who fired out 3,600. Cantu reraised to 9,000 and the player called.

The turn fell the {3-Clubs} and Cantu fired out again, this time for 12,500. Once again his opponent just called.

On the {6-Diamonds} river, Cantu bet one more time, this time a bet worth 32,000, which was almost enough to put the player all in. His opponent went into the tank.

"I wouldn't be left with very much here," he said to no one in particular.

After about two minutes, the player made the call.

Cantu turned over {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a straight and that was good for Cantu to take down the pot.
