The Champ Is Here

Yevgeniy Timoshenko - defending champion
Yevgeniy Timoshenko - defending champion
Sporting a new rugged look, the baby-faced Yevgeniy Timoshenko of last has been replaced by the confident look of a defending champion as Timoshenko has recently taken his seat amongst today's field.

Timoshenko caught our eye very early in last year's event, and his dominant performance throughout the tournament stretched until the final card was dealt and the trophy and $500,000 prize was his.

Since that break-through, Timoshenko has turned 21 and gone from strength to strength to cement himself as one of the world's best players. A runner-up finish at the EPT in Barcelona and 3rd place at a WSOPE event, was followed up with a huge win in the season-ending WPT Championship where the young gun pocketed over $2 million. Another two WSOP cashes this summer and the Timoshenko train is full steam ahead for another huge Asian poker season.
