Brandon Cantu is yet another member of the UB team that would encourage you to support online casinos for USA players by playing at UB.com. After Cantu learned to play poker in Washington from his grandfather, he played in casinos in Oregon. When he went pro, he moved to Vegas because he has easy access to US poker rooms there.
The decision to go pro came in 2006 in Vegas once he won over $750k for 1st place in a WSOP event. An interesting fact about that bracelet win is that it was his very first major tournament. Since then, he has cashed several more times in casinos for US players. Where WSOP is concerned, he won a second bracelet in 2009 in Event 48, a PLO tournament, for $228,967. His PLO win came a few days after a 2nd place finish in Event 39. He earned an impressive $403,951 in that NLHE event. His best Main Event finish was in 2008 when he took 20th for $257k.
Cantu also won $1 million for first place in the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star championship. In that tournament he also busted 6 bounty players good for $5k a piece! As such, he got the nickname “The Bounty Hunter”. It would make sense if the six pros he busted during that event wished he were at home doing some online casino gambling so that he couldn’t knock them out!
Where live tournaments are concerned, Cantu has almost $3.5 million in cashes. He’s on Team UB, though, so you’d think that he must sometimes play poker in online casino USA sites. Because he prefers live poker, he actually doesn’t download free poker all that often. When he does play, though, it’s obviously mostly on UB. His UB screen name is “brandoncantu”, and he enters MTTs and high stakes cash games.
If you asked Cantu how you can see better tournaments results, he would tell you to be more aggressive. If you’d like to follow in his footsteps, here’s some advice for you: don’t download roulette. It would be way more worthwhile to get on a poker site and start building a bankroll.
