Brandon Louvier has jumped into the chip lead after taking a huge pot off Shayne Shackelford with a very lucky river card.

Louvier called Shackelford's three-bet all in on the turn for some 200,000 holding {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} on a {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} board. Shackelford was ahead with {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for two pair.

But that changed drastically after the {a-Spades} river gave Louvier two bigger pair and now the chip lead.
