On a board, Eddy Sabat was faced with a bet of 3,000 in front of him. After some thought he made the call and the river was seen heads up. Once again, the player first to act led out, this time for 4,000 chips. Sabat seemed pained by his decision but eventually made the reluctant call. His opponent flipped over one jack, and then another, for top set. That was good enough to ship the pot and shorten Sabat's stack.
There hasn't been much to report on this level. Most players seem to be content with keeping the pots small, and the big pots that we've seen develop have ended before a showdown.
It must seem like Brandon Cantu is the only player we are watching, which is only half true. Cantu just so happens to have the reputation to play a ton of pots, and that's exactly what he's doing tonight. While he has won most of them tonight, we did just catch him finally losing one. Eddy Sabat raised to 525, and Cantu called. The cutoff raised it up to 2,100, and it folded around to Sabat, who folded. It was back to Cantu, and he stuck a stack of chips in that had his opponent covered. This exact scenerio played out about 30 minutes ago, and on that hand, Cantu's opponent folded. However, it wasn't the same this time around, as Cantu was snap called.

Cantu was in a world of hurt, and it would only get worse for him, as the flop came down . That eliminated one of Cantu's outs, and he would need a miracle to secure the hand. The turn brought the , and that ended things. The river was the , and Cantu's opponent won the pot with a queen high flush. Cantu is still doing fine, sitting on about 42,000
In 2009, Allen Carter won the WPT Southern Poker Championship for a cool $1,000,000. On his way to victory, he beat Robert Suer heads up and the two are now seated together at table 27.
Carter and Suer, along with a few of their table-mates, have been endulging in some adult beverages and have begun to steal the show. Suer has been going back and forth about how well-known in the poker community he is and it has started a debate, one that the table feels inclined to ask as many people as possible.
"DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS INDIVIDUAL IS?" one of the players at the table will ask each time a new person walks by. "Let's make a bet, does anybody at that table (points to a nearby poker table) know who you are?"
So far the verdict has been relatively split. Regardless, play continues and Suer has been climbing up nicely since Day 1b began.
Brandon Cantu couldn't get much going this afternoon, but he has stepped up his game in tonight's second flight, as he has just won a pot to put him at 50,000. Action started with Eddy Sabat in the hijack who raised to 525. Cantu called in the cutoff, as did the button. The small blind squeezed them, putting in a three bet to 2,400. Sabat got out of the way, and after Cantu got a look at his opponent's stack, he put out a bet big enough to put his remaining opponents all in.
The button quickly folded, and it was back to the small blind. He tanked for about a minute before letting his hand go, and Cantu raked in another pot.
We picked the action up on a board with Brandon Cantu getting check-called by his lone opponent after he bet 5,025.
The river was the . His opponent checked again and Cantu quietly announced that he was all in. In fact, it was his opponent that he was putting at risk and when she called, Cantu quickly flipped over his two aces. His opponent only had two queens and Cantu sent her to the rail.
