Mustapha Kanit has been cruising through the day, but his potential status as day-end chip leader has been put into question following a recent hand.

.
The big blind fired again for 8,000 on the flop, and Kanit called in position.
On the turn , the big blind sized up to 35,000, and once more, Kanit called.
On the river 
, the big blind brought out the big guns, going all-in for over 100,000. Kanit gave his decision some pause before opting to fold, dropping his stack to just over 600,000, which is no longer the biggest stack in the room.
