2009 WSOP Event 48, 2nd Bracelet for Brandon Cantu

Brandon Cantu became the latest player in the 2009 World Series of Poker to improve on a runner up finish in a previous event, by going on to win a bracelet in the next. His second place finish was worth $403,951 in Event #39. Last night, the final hand of 2009 WSOP Event #48, $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, saw two former bracelet winners Lee Watkinson and Brandon Cantu each vying for their second career bracelet and the $228,867 top place prize. Cantu made trip fours to finish the deal, as he joined Angel Guillen and James Van Alstyne as players who recently earned a bracelet after finishing runner up in an earlier 2009 WSOP event.
