And Doug Kim is our New Chip Leader
Not too long after announcing that we had spotted Dong Kim in the tournament he chipped up, and just now after the break he won the biggest pot of the day.
The action started on Kim during this hand who raised under the gun to 2,000 and the action folded around to Junichi Nakagiri who called from the big blind.
The flop came down and Nakagiri checked to Kim who flicked out 2,500. Nakagiri made the call and on the turn the hit.
Nakagiri opted to check again and this time Kim fired out 5,600. Nakagiri gave it some thought before check-raising to 14,000 and this is when Kim paused. After about 20 seconds Kim called and the river brought the with already 38,000 chips in the middle.
Nakagiri checked almost immediately by tapping the top of his stack, and Kim moved all in for 32,900 after about half a minute. Kim's Japanese opponent went into the tank for several minutes, but ultimately he tossed in the call.
Kim immediately showed for the nut flush, after having flopped two pair, and Nakagiri's ended up in the muck. Kim raked this massive six-figure chip pot and sits on 105,000 chips.
