Cantu Shoves for More Than the Pot
Upon arriving at the table, we discovered that the black all-in circle was sitting in front of Brandon Cantu on a board of . There was roughly 30,000 in the middle, and after the dealer broke down one of Cantu's stacks, he and Josh Arieh determined that the all-in bet was for 57,175.
Matt Waxman, winner of the Season X WPT Grand Prix de Paris, was his opponent, and he cut out enough chips to make the call. He separated them from the rest of his stack, then turned to examine Cantu, who was sitting quite still. After 90 seconds or so, Waxman went to push the chips forward, paused for another five seconds, then called.
Cantu ripped over for a set of sevens, prompting Waxman to flick his cards into the muck. Cantu now sits with around 145,000 chips, while Waxman is left with just 25,000.
