James Kim came into the day as one of the chip leaders but now finds his stack cut in half after an unlucky beat delivered by Espen Solaas. Solaas opened the preflop action by raising to 2,500 before Kim re-raised the button to 7,500. Solaas tanked for about a minute before moving all in. Kim quickly called, putting Solaas at risk.

Kim didn't seem pleased by the situation, as if he knew that the flop was going to fall . There was no further help for Kim on the turn or river. He had to double up Solaas, cutting his own stack in half in the process.
