Stud

Brandon Cantu bet with an ace on board into two opponents, one of whom folded on fifth. "Miami" John Cernuto put Cantu all in for his last 3,500 and the two ran it:

Cantu: {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Cernuto: {9-Spades}{3-Spades}/{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

It was a pair and a flush draw versus aces. Cernuto improved to two pair on the {4-Clubs}, and Cantu drew a {q-Hearts}. Cernuto's river was a {6-Clubs}, no help.

"Any pair, you win," Cernuto said.

Cantu peeled his card, with someone saying he needed a no-spotter.

"Three-spotter," he said. "Hearts."

It would have to be the eight of hearts...and it was.

At another table, Thao "Scratch" Thiem went bust.
