Cantu and Phillips Forced Out
Brandon Cantu has just taken his seat, and to no one's surprise, he jumped right into the action in a pot with Dennis Phillips and another player. There was 1,200 in the pot, with the board reading 
. It was checked to Cantu, who bet out 650. Both his opponents called, and the river came the 
. Phillips check, and their opponent fired out a bet of 1,600. Cantu looked a bit frustrated as he folded his cards to the deal, and Phillips folded as well, showing 
for a busted straight draw. Both players are down from their starting stacks, but still have plenty of ammunition left.
