That Can't Do

Brandon Cantu raises from the cutoff and Costa Artemi makes the call from the button. On the flop of {A-Spades} {10-Spades} {8-Spades} Cantu bets 4,000 and Artemi raises to 22,000. Cantu makes the call before checking to his opponent on the {J-Diamonds} turn. After a minute's deliberation, Artemi announces he's all-in and Cantu immediately calls with {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} for the flopped 2nd nut flush. Artemi shows {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} for top two pair but the river is the {J-Spades} making Artemi a full house as Cantu lets out an anguished cry.

Artemi now has around 120,000 while Cantu has been knocked right back down to 35,000.
