Cantu Got Full Value With Aces

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

First to act, John Cantu raised it to 700. Everybody folded to the player in the big blind, who raised it to 2,300. Cantu made it to 7,000 and his opponent just called.

On the {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop, the player in the big blind announced all in and Cantu called.

Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
John Cantu: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

The turn {4-Spades} and river {10-Hearts} didn't change anything and Cantu's pocket aces were good to eliminate a player.

"I was raising a lot before the flop, I think he just didn't believe me," said Cantu, who has already tripled his starting stack.
