Repik Crushing Early
We have our eyes on the early chip leader here in the 2012 PCA Main Event. That person is Alexey Repik and he has over five times the starting stack with 153,000.
Prior to the 2012 PCA, we had no idea who Repik was. Then, he played the $100,000 Super High Roller. Doing some quick digging on the Internet, we find that there is an Alexey Repik who is Chairman of the Board and President of CJSC R-Pharm based in Moscow. Whether that's him or not has yet to be confirmed, but either way, he's still a boss.

in front of him.
The pot was pushed to Levy who now has 21,000 chips.
