Yevgeniy Timoshenko Chip Leader

For the first time today, a player in my area has apparently snagged the chip lead. With roughly 40,000 he's been headed nowhere but upwards since arriving at his second table of the day, and stacking chips so neatly he could be a croupier in piles of 20, you hardly notice that one of those piles is made of T1,000 chips and one of T500s...

Having recently won half a million dollars in Macau, this quietly capable young man is definitely one to watch.
