Kanter Can't Make A-Q Work

Back-to-back hands with A-Q proved disastrous for Aaron Kanter. In the first hand, he couldn't catch up to the pocket sixes held by Robert Herman and took a 37,000-chip hit after all the money went in preflop.

Just one hand later, Kanter called the 28,000-chip all in of Kenneth Shelton. Shelton held {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, making Kanter a significant favorite, but the board came {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}.

After these two hands, Kanter fell to 116,000 in chips.
