Montoya Gets a Good Sweat
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Brandon Cantu raised to 40,000 in late position, the player on the button flatted, and Tyler Montoya three-bet shoved all in from the small blind for 405,000, putting himself at risk. Cantu got out of the way, and the button made the call.
Tyler Montoya: A?K? 
Button: K?Q?
The flop came 8?9?2?, with Montoya still in the lead. The J? rolled off on the turn, giving the button additional outs with flush and straight possibilities. The river card was black, but it was the J?, securing Montoya the double-up.
"It's always a sweat," said Montoya as the dealer counted the chips and pushed the pot his way.
