Big O

Jon Turner opened to 25,000 in middle position, with Brandon Cantu calling on the button and Ryan Hoenig defending his big blind.

Hoenig and Turner checked the 3♥8♦A♠ flop and Cantu bet 25,000. Hoenig then check-raised to 60,000 and Turner got out of the way.

Cantu called to see the Q♦ turn, where Hoenig led out for 140,000. After taking some time, Cantu announced a pot-sized raise. Hoenig quickly moved all in and Cantu called off the rest of his stack.

Brandon Cantu: A♣Q♣6♥4♠2♣ All in
Ryan Hoenig: J♥10♣6♦4♦2♠

Both players had the same low, while Cantu held aces and queens for the high. The 8♠ river changed nothing, as Cantu raked in three-quarters of the pot.

"Nice hand," said Hoenig as he counted his remaining stack.
