Jan-Mikael Kesanen Destroys Kim Christensen
The chip leader to start the day Kim Christensen has just left the tournament area.
We caught up with the biggest pot of the day on the turn. We learned from the table after the hand was over that it began with Christensen opening from the button and calling a three-bet from Jan-Mikael Kesanen.
Kesanen then bet after the flop came 
and Christensen called. At this point, we estimated the pot to already be almost 100,000 in chips.
The 
appeared on the turn and Kesanen bet 20,000. Christensen went into the tank for a minute or two before he raised to 55,000.
Kesanen called and the 
completed the board on the river. Kesanen slowed down the aggression and checked. Christensen then jammed for about 100,000 and Kesanen called almost as soon as the words "all-in" left Christensen mouth.
Christensen was on a complete bluff with 
and was eliminated when Kesanen who had 105,000 remaining at the time he called turned over 
.
Minutes later, Kesanen was still busy piling up chips but based on the action, we estimate his stack to be at around 420,000. This hand catapulted Kesanen into the chip lead. He began the day with just 30,000 in chips after he decided to wait until Day 2 to get into the poker action in the Main Event.
