The Champ is Here

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

We were a bit worried that Oleksii Kovalchuk wasn't going to be here to defend his crown. We didn't spot the Ukrainian throughout the first four levels, and we didn't even see him when players returned after registration had closed. However, just as we were giving up hope, Kovalchuk walked through the doors, and after stopping to greet a couple of friends, he sat down and got right to work, upping his stack slightly in the few hands he's played.
