Cantu Squeezes Double with Eight-Smooth

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Catching the action after the first draw with around 3,000 in the pot, Xunen Zheng checked to Brandon Cantu who bet 3,850. Zheng responded by pushing out a stack of yellow 1,000-denomination chips to put Cantu all in.

With 15,150 total in his stack, Cantu called.

Zheng stood pat and Cantu drew one. On the final draw, Zheng stood pat and Cantu drew one.

Zheng: {8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}
Cantu: {8-}{5-}{4-}{2-}

Cantu needed a seven, six, or three to stay alive, and he begin squeezing his card like a pro baccarat player.

From the sides, then to the top, then back to sides, eventually Cantu slammed over his {3-} to make an eight-smooth and ensured his double to roughly 34,000.

The turn came {9-Spades} and Arieh checked to Esposito who slid in 8,000. Arieh mucked and turned to concentrate on stacking his chips he brought to the table.
