His opponent also checked the 
river and Cantu claimed kings-up, turning over

Eddy Sabat is now officially on a post-dinner heater and now has his stack in the 50,000-chip range.
One tablemate called him out on it, but Sabat was quick to point out this shorty had been all in behind more than once and is clearly, considering the odds of the hands he's played, getting a lot luckier just to stay alive.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, early chip leader and 2014 WSOP bracelet winner Davide Surianio has endured a table change and is simply treading water at this point.
