Kempson Falls to Bring In Final Table Bubble
It is looking more and more likely that play will stop at the final nine rather than lasting another two levels, with the departure of Corey Kempson bringing in the final table bubble.
It was Ryan Otto the man wielding the executioner's axe once more, with Kempson the man with his head on the chopping block.
Otto was the initial raiser, making it 12,500 to go from the button, with Kempson moving all-in from the big blind for 120,000 in total.
After asking for a count, Otto slapped down the calling chips and the duo revealed their holdings.

It was off to the races once more, and unfortunately for Kempson, Otto has proved to be quite the thoroughbred, and that trend continued on the run out.
Kempson got to his feet, shook everyone's hand and headed out of the tournament for the fourth and final time, while Otto stacked up to 700,000, which puts him firmly at the top of the podium.
Jonathan Karamalikis was moved from the feature table to balance the tables and is seated in seat nine.
