Brandon Cantu Eliminated

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Cantu: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} / {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} / {5-Clubs}
Opas: {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} / {9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {K-Spades}

Brandon Cantu was down to a few chips and got the last of his stack in on fourth street against Jonathan Opas. Cantu's buried tens were good until sixth street, where Opas hit a third nine to take the lead.

"Open ended! Low draw!" cheered Cantu, who needed to hit a straight to stay around. The river wasn't the seven or deuce he needed and he was eliminated.
