Denmark's Kim Christensen Back in Action and Then Some

Jason Glatzer

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We looked around for Kim Christensen after his table broke to see if the chip leader at the start of the day was still in a seat. His stack was decimated down from over 190,000 to start the day to under 8,000 in chips with about 15 minutes left before the first break. We saw him triple up before the break and he doubled up again to 53,000 while we weren't at the table.

We eventually found him and we were shocked to see that somehow he has a huge stack of chips again. It is even bigger than he started the day with 205,000 in chips in his stack.

The Dane is now back with his giant headphones on and his recognizable Yankee cap looking far more relaxed than he did 45 minutes ago.

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Latvia's Gatis Reigass was providing good spirits in the tournament area both yesterday and today. He is very friendly and chatty with all the players at his table.

Good vibes will have to come from elsewhere as Reigass confirmed as he was walking out the door that he was eliminated from the tournament in a hand he began with over 60,000 in chips.

He shared he got it all in with bottom set holding on a board. Unfortunately for him, his opponent had for middle set and he was unable to get the one remaining seven left in the deck to spike the turn and river.

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Kim Christensen entered the day as the chip leader. This is no longer the case as there are a few stacks around the room at 200,000 or great while Christensen's stack has become smaller.

He just shook his head in frustration after he lost a small pot against Anders Stai.

Christensen bet 5,000 into a pot of around 8,000 on a board. His opponent quickly called and Christensen turned over .

Stai shouted king-six and a moment later showed he wasn't misrepresenting his hand when turning over for two pair and the pot.

Despite Christensen bleeding some chips, he still has a good stack of around 125,000, which is more than 100 big blinds.
