Cantu was fairly active on Twitter throughout the day on Saturday at the Rio, posting when play had wrapped up, “336k, 7 left, done for the night… We are officially at the final table now.” Earlier in the day, Cantu Tweeted how he had built his stack in the first place: “3rd in chips in NL Deuce. 61k… Played 61k pot w/23467 vs 23458 to get my chips, Day 2 starting.”

Cantu cast Bryan badbeatninja Devonshire to the Rio cashier in ninth place from Event #30. We’ll let a Tweet from Devonshire detail what went wrong: “I bust 9th place for $5,955. Sigh. Folded to Cantu in SB, he raises, I shove 43k in BB, he calls, 1:2, he makes a 9, I make a K.”

Two-time bracelet winner Rep Porter is in second place in the 2-7 event entering the finale with a stack of 233,400. Porter won a Seven Card Razz event last year for his second gold bracelet and Tweeted at the end of the day on Saturday, “Down to the final table in the 2-7 NL tourney. 7 left. Start at 2pm. I have 234k. Aver is 185k.”

The remaining 2-7 field is pretty stacked, as two-time bracelet winner Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi (pictured) is in third place with 206,800. Mizrachi sent John “The Razor” Phan to the rail in eighth place on Day 2 to pad his stack. Mizrachi won his second bracelet last year in a No Limit Hold’em Split Format event in Cannes.

Looking for his second WSOP bracelet is Erick Lindgren, who has the fourth place stack of 185,600. Lindgren reached his first WSOP final table since a Six-Max No Limit Hold’em event in 2010. His bracelet came in 2008 in a $5,000 Mixed Hold’em tournament.

Andrew luckychewy Lichtenbeger (pictured at top of article) will hold the fifth largest stack when play resumes on Sunday with 161,100. Lichtenberger has 11 career WSOP cashes and is in search of his first bracelet. He’s now made three deep runs at the WSOP this year. In addition to the 2-7 final table, Lichtenbeger took eighth in a $3,000 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em event and finished 23rd in the $10,000 Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em Championship.

Larry Wright is in sixth place with a stack of 116,200 and right behind him is Ryan Tepen69 Tepen, who is the short stack with 51,100. Tepen, who played football for the University of Missouri, Tweeted on Saturday, “Made my first official @wsop final table. Very short and the shortest of the last 7 at 51.1k. Restart at 2pm Vegas time. #TeamRunGood.”

The finale of Event #27, $1,500 HORSE, saw former November Niner Ylon Schwartz (pictured) come away with the title and $267,000 in cash. The end came during Stud High-Low after the money went in on the bring-in. Former World Poker Tour Championship winner David Chiu needed a nine, king, or ace on the final card to overcome Schwartz’ pair of queens, but a three hit to ship the bracelet to his opponent.

PocketFives member Stephen stevie444 Chidwick took third in the tournament after calling all-in during Omaha High-Low with Ah-Qh-10c-10s on a board showing 7s-9h-8c-5h-Qd. Schwartz flipped up a straight and Chidwick booked a $112,000 payday.
