Pang Leads, Gall Takes From Kim,

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

While Van Sang Nguyen has a stack of roughly 135,000 - around 35,000 more than he had last we checked - the current chip leader appears to be Malaysia's Kwong Yuen Pang who has a stack of 160,000.

Another player who has just padded out his stack is Raphael Gall and we arrived at the table just in time to see SJ Kim and Gall play a big pot and while it looked like Kim’s tournament was ticking over nicely that is no longer the case.

We picked up the action on the river with the board reading {q-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} just as Gall fired out a rather chunky 16,000 bet into a pot of over 30,000 in blinds and antes.

Kim, with around 30,000 behind did not look too thrilled about it but made the call and Gall turned over {q-Hearts}{10-Spades} for the turned Broadway straight and Kim mucked, dropping down to 13,000 while Gall climbed to 97,000.
