After a series of limped pots, we finally saw Vitaly Lunkin and Brett Kimes engage in a big pot. Kimes limped in on the button, but called after Lunkin raised to 375,000. The flop came {2-Spades} {J-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, and Lunkin led out for 350,000. After a brief pause, Kimes raised to 700,000. Without missing a beat, Lunkin announced he was all in. Kimes quickly folded.

Kimes took a hit of over 1 million chips on that hand. Lunkin is now the chip leader.
