We are down to the final nine players, and we have a new chip leader after a wild hand near the final table bubble. Ron West was all in preflop with [Ac][8d], and Kale Hutton shoved from the button with [Qd][Qh]. In the small blind, chip leader Ubaid Habib tanked for a while before spiking chips in for a call with [Ad][Jd], and he shot to a huge lead after the flop of [As][6c][3d]. The [2d] gave Habib a flush draw, but improbably, the [Qs] hit the river to give Hutton the chip lead.
Below you will see how the final nine stack up. Remember, they are playing for a first place prize of $33,400, and a handful of bounties still available.
