Seoul native Kim Gap Young has been the story of this tournament since early on Day 2. He has seemingly been in cruise control, never dipping below a medium-sized stack. That's probably not a surprise to anyone who knows that Kim learned at the feet of one of the greatest tournament players of the Internet generation, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. Kim was first exposed to poker by ElkY when both were elite Korean Starcraft players.
Kim's biggest highlight in his five-year poker career so far was shipping a heads-up tournament online for $200,000. He considers himself part of the first generation of Korean poker players and is hoping to add to his accolades with a win here in Cebu. Starting with 26% of the chips in play will certainly give him a leg up on the field.
