Here’s the rundown of weekend WSOP action:

:: Event #48 ($1,500 PLO 8B): Brandon Cantu outlasted a field of 752 to capture his second bracelet. For the win, he banks $228,867. Cantu defeated Lee Watkinson-Markholt ($141,873) for the title. Get full final table payouts here.

:: Event #50 ($1,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout): Final table starts today at 2pm PT. Going for their second WSOP bracelets are David Williams and Greg ‘FBT’ Mueller. Joining them is the awesomely named Flaminio Malaguti. Pretty sure he was a Formula 1 race car driver at some point of his life. Or a gay Italian bar. One of the two. See the rest of the final table here.

Event #51 ($1,500 NLH): Another 2,781 entered the second-to-last $1,500 NLH event. Christopher Bonita is the overnight chip leader, stacked at 131,700. Get full chip counts here.
