Hand #159: Six Walks in a Row?

Hand #159 - Cantu folds from the button.

Matt Savage announced this as the fifth walk in a row, but we have it as the sixth. There may have been a mistake with the button, which would account for the discrepancy.

 

Hand #158: Fifth Walk in a Row

Hand #158 - Sung folds from the button.

 

Hand #157: Fourth Walk in a Row

Hand #157 - Cantu folds from the button.

 

Hand #152: Brandon Cantu

Hand #152 - Sung completes to 20,000, Cantu raises to 120,000, and Sung calls. The flop comes 876, Cantu bets 200,000, and Sung calls. The turn card is the A, and both players check.

The river card is the J, Cantu bets 500,000, and Sung immediately calls. Cantu shows J-J for a set of jacks on the river, and Sung looks like he was just sucker-punched. He thinks about showing his hand, but mucks it face down.

Brandon Cantu wins the pot, increasing his stack to about 7 million. Steve Sung is down to about 560,000.
