On the first hand of play of the day, Rep Porter brought in and Stephen Su completed. Su led out on fourth and Porter made the call. Porter made the lower board on fifth and led out himself. Su raised it up though and Porter made the call. On the last two streets, Su bet and Porter called each time. Su turned over which double paired him to give him only a queen-low. Porter showed which gave him a nine-low, the pot and the chip lead.

Stephen Su was already seated when Rep Porter arrived. Porter shook his opponent`s hand and said ``Good luck, play good and may the lucky guy win.``
After three grueling days of play in Event #44, $2,500 Razz that couldn't determine a winner, two players return today to duke it out for the $210,615 first prize and WSOP gold bracelet. Second place won't leave empty handed though as they will receive $130,075 as consolation.
Stephen Su started to build up a lead over Rep Porter towards the end of play last night after the players went back and forth for a little while once heads up play began. Su will have just under 70% of the total chips when play will resume and is looking for his first bracelet. Porter, who won the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six Handed event in 2008 is looking to mount a bit of a comeback to capture his second bracelet.
Play is set to get back underway at 3 p.m. PST. Check in then at PokerNews as we find our next 2011 WSOP bracelet winner!
