Kanit Struggles to Get Paid
It was a rough start to the day for Mustapha Kanit, dropping to below 100,000 chips at one point, and another player on the table tried to make it a lot tougher. With a little over 20,000 in the middle, three players saw a flop of

Kim sat with his cards in front of him and would not put in the extra 10,000 chips. The floor was called to the table and after some discussion, Kim was ordered to put in the extra chips or be penalized. Kim finally paid the full amount and showed his 
before the next hand continued.
