Cantu Taking Control

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Brandon Cantu just came out on top of a pre-flop raising war with Steven Silverman. Silverman limped from the button, matching the 3,000 big blind, and Cantu raised to 12,000. Silverman then re-raised to 26,000. After thinking for a few moments, Cantu 4-bet to 47,000. Silverman tanked for a minute, but decided to fold, much to the disappointment of a few railbirds who thought an all-in confrontation was developing. Cantu now enjoys a sizable chip lead, 290,000 to 130,000.
