Cantu Doubles Through Owen and Fireworks Ignite

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

From under the gun, Brandon Cantu opened with a raise to 4,100. Action folded to Adam Owen in the cutoff and he reraised, making it 13,500.

Cantu thought for a really long time and with shaky hands he pushed out two more stacks of T1,000 chips, putting in a reraise to 44,100.

Owen immediately jumped up from his chair and took his sunglasses off. He asked for a count of what Cantu had remaining, but the dealer could not give it to him. Cantu had some uneven stacks, so Calvin Anderson who was at the table gave an eyeballed guess. Cantu then cut out his stacks evenly so Owen could get a proper count.

"All in," Owen announced.

Cantu then dropped into the tank. He only had roughly 18,000 behind and was thinking through his decision.

"Why are you tanking so long?" Owen asked. "If you were snowing just fold."

Cantu then pushed forward a call and was thinking about whether or not to draw.

"It's on you," Owen said. He tanked for about a minute, then stood pat. Owen then went into the tank. He looked at his stack several times, then at Cantu's.

"Alright, you tricked me," Owen said after about two minutes. He stood pat as well.

Cantu turned up . Owen went to muck but, since it was an all in and call, he was forced to turn up his . Cantu was awarded the big double-up and Owen was left with just 18,175.
