Cantu's A Cardrack

Kevin Taylor

Brandon Cantu is known as one of the most aggressive and reckless players in the game, so its sometimes shocking when he actually shows a good hand. The players at his table know this, and Cantu is all too happy to use this to his advantage. When we came to the table, Cantu was heads up with David Miscikowski on a flop of {10-Clubs} {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} . There was about 5,000 in the pot, and Miscikowski checked to Cantu, who bet out 5,000. Miscikowski tanked for about a minute, before check raising most of his stack with a bet of 20,000. Cantu quickly moved all in, and Miscikowski called it off.

Cantu: {a-Diamonds} {a-Hearts}
Miscikowski: {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts}

The turn brought no help, coming the {q-Spades} , and the river brought a scare, but it was a harmless {6-Diamonds} . Cantu scooped the pot, upping his stack to 70,000 as we near the last level of the day.
