Brandon Cantu

The 2009 World Series of Poker $1,500 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha High-Low Split champion is Brandon Cantu, from Vancouver, WA.

Brandon Cantu born and raised in Vancouver, Washington is an American professional poker player. Cantu's poker nickname is "The Bounty Hunter."

Cantu started playing poker seriously in 2003. Chris Moneymaker's stunning upset victory ignited his history in the game. After seeing Moneymaker win the 2003 WSOP Main Event on television, Cantu became part of the wave of new players which flooded into the game. Cantu started playing online and did well enough to build a bankroll. He started playing in live tournaments starting in 2006. Since then, Cantu has won 4 major poker tournaments and as accumulated more than $3 million in tournament earnings worldwide.

Cantu's first WSOP gold bracelet win took place in what was his first time ever to cash at the WSOP. He won a $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event which drew 2,776 players (at the time, this was the largest non-Main Event tournament in WSOP history).
