Walid Bou Habib Eliminated in 8th Place ($35,020)

The action folds around to the small blind and Marvin Rettenmaier makes a 75,000 raise, Walid Bou Habib moves all-in and Rettenmaier makes the call. When the cards are turned over Rettenmaier cannot believe his luck.

Rettenmaier: [Ah] [Jd]
Habib: [As] [Qc]

So Rettenmaier was in a terrible mess, but the poker gods had other plans for our WPT Champions Club member. The flop was [Js] [Jh] [6c] to push Rettenmaier way in front. The [Tc] on the turn hands Habib a straight draw but the [8h] was not one of the cards he was looking for. Habib is out in 8th and Rettenmaier moves up to 1,650,000.

Could he be our first back-to-back WPT Champion?
