Tweet Tweet, Bad Beat - Jon Aguiar versus Brandon Cantu en heel veel foto's

2012 Oktober 02 Frank Op de Woerd

In WSOP Boulevard las je vandaag al dat Jon Aguiar een bracelet heeft gewonnen in Cannes. In het €10.000 Mix-Max toernooi tijdens de World Series of Poker Europe kwam hij Heads-Up uit tegen Brandon Cantu. Dat ging allemaal niet zonder slag of stoot want ze speelden zo lang Heads-Up dat ze nog niet klaar waren toen het casino ging sluiten. Flashbacks naar de MCOP-perikelen kwamen direct in ons op.

Jon Aguiar wilde dag 1B spelen van het WSOPE Main Event en dus werd er besloten dat de Heads-Up match pas verder gespeeld zou worden op het moment dat de twee beiden uit het Main Event lagen. Dat gebeurde uiteindelijk al op dag 1B waarna ze verder speelden. Cantu was duidelijk niet blij met de situatie en uitte zijn frustratie op twitter. Sommige tweets hebben we bij elkaar geplakt, voor het overzicht:

That's the most robbed I have ever been in a match... When you play 6 hrs of grueling heads up action that was maybe the greatest performance I have ever put on and to be told we won't play it the next day after 16 hours and 5 days of GRUELING poker to be told you must not play. The next day and completely let a kid rest up and study up with all of his Internet nerd friends just isn't right I complained that night And the next 12 hours about it but once again ruled against its amazing how my voice is never heard anyways I'm just complaining as always I just can't deal with this loss I mean it took an act of GOD for me to lose this match I must have done something wrong for this to happen

This must be what I get for being a bad person
— Brandon Cantu (@brandoncantu)

I just will never understand why I get ruled against in EVERY single decision by the Wsop it's almost become comical when I am right EVERY Single time. And finally it cost me a bracelet

God I was fucked that bracelet should have an asterisk next to it
— Brandon Cantu (@brandoncantu)

My bracelet does need an asterisk, my event started first so I should get credit for first Portuguese bracelet @wsop

Cantu gaf ook een interview aan PokerNews.com waar zijn frustratie resulteerde in een van de best bekeken video's van de serie:

Hey @PokerNews can you please make the Cantu Files happen already? #7hourswewouldactuallywatch #nonneedforediting

De twee gingen daarna nog even verder online:

@jonaguiar I beg you to hold true to your word that you said on the live stream that you will play me heads up (as you offered during the (livestream. red.). I would like to play for at least the difference of first and second that was rightfully stolen of mine and I swear on a stack of bibles That I won't sell one penny off we can play under the exact same structure as this one leaving off from the same spot all I ask is we Don't take any multiple days off in between our match as it took an act that was greater than myself for you to overcome that deficit... Please just don't insult me by agreeing to this and wanting to play 10/20 blinds or something stupid like that... I just want you to hold... True on what you asked for
— Brandon Cantu (@brandoncantu)

@brandoncantu i'll be in vegas for festa, 130k usd HUSNG booked
— Jonathan Aguiar (@JonAguiar)

@jonaguiar thank you I can at least live with the result then if I lose and can live the rest of my life in peace... What day are you back?
— Brandon Cantu (@brandoncantu)

@brandoncantu ironically enough you're going to have to wait til I bust the festa main
— Jonathan Aguiar (@JonAguiar)

Ook Olivier Busquet heeft natuurlijk weer een mening. En net als Daniel Negreanu steekt ook Busquet die nooit onder stoelen of banken:

every1 thinks its cool to pile on @brandoncantu for being a clown in the interview, which he was, but he seems mostly right substance-wise
— Olivier busquet (@olivierbusquet)

@olivierbusquet "even a broken clock is right twice a day" maybe you were lvling but even substance-wise he's not right. He's just a guy blaming his loss on everything but himself
— Joseph Cheong (@subiime)

@olivierbusquet i doubt many share your opinion that forcing @JonAguiar to skip the main would have been the correct ruling
— Ryan Daut (@rcdaut)

You guys think its fair that he was allowed extra time to consult with his friends about strategy? Wtf is going on?
— Olivier busquet (@olivierbusquet)

this is good example of a general point that unlikable people need a much stronger defense when they are right than likeable people do.
— Olivier busquet (@olivierbusquet)

@olivierbusquet you should have an issue with the WSOPTD, not with players on twitter making fun rightfully so of a post bustout outburst.
— Matt Glantz (@MattGlantz)

@MattGlantz mostly fair enough, I am extra sensitive when I think people who I think are easy targets get piled on...feels like bullying
— Olivier busquet (@olivierbusquet)

@olivierbusquet @MattGlantz or maybe you have empathy for him cause your online rants made cantu's defeat look gracious
— Ryan Daut (@rcdaut)

@rcdaut pretty standard ad hominem personal attack, pretty low and pathetic imo, totally wout substance
— Olivier busquet (@olivierbusquet)

@mattglantz @olivierbusquet personal feelings aside, you can't let either player decide in this case. If there is argument, next available.
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker)

@olivierbusquet this decision was made BEFORE play started, if i had brandon on the ropes and tilting i'd have still played the main
