That Cantu Hand

Brandon Cantu

I joined the action on the turn of a {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} board, 17,100 in front of Markus Golser and 35,025 before Brandon Cantu. It could have been a simple check-raise, or maybe even bet, two-bet, three-bet, but either way, it was a massive pot.

After much dwelling, and with only 11,000 behind, Golser made the fold, allowing Cantu to proudly show {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

"Woooooh," said one player. "Sick," said another. "That's like that Ivey hand where it went air, air, air."

Cantu now has 65,000; Golser has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp, although he did later tap the table gently in recognition of the bluff.
