Cantu Quartered for Main

[user75032]

Omaha 8/b

We missed the pre-flop action in an Omaha Hi/Lo hand at Brandon Cantu's table. On a flop of {j-Spades} {5-Clubs} {9-Clubs} , Cantu and a second player checked to bracelet-winner Rodney Pardey. Pardey bet and was called all-in by the button player. Cantu then check-raised, with only Pardey calling.

Cantu bet the {7-Spades} turn and the {6-Diamonds} river. Pardey called the first bet but folded to the second bet, allowing Cantu to win 600 chips out of the side pot uncontested. He opened {a-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds} for the main pot, a pair of nines and the nut low. The all-in player opened {a-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} {q-Spades} {2-Clubs} , a pair of aces and the nut low. Cantu was quartered, but after collecting the side pot is sitting behind 4,000 in chips.
