Kool and the Gang

Bruno "Kool Shen" Lopes
Bruno "Kool Shen" Lopes

We just walked past Table 1 and noticed a big stack of chips in front of Bruno Lopes. A count of 430,000 appears to have him in the chip lead right now. It's quite a big step up from the 186,100 he began play with an hour ago.

Lopes is much better known by his stage name, Kool Shen. A prominent figure in the French rap scene, Kool Shen has several interesting hobbies like acting, and graffiti drawing, and break dancing. And poker, obviously. Lopes is approaching $400,000 in cashes in the last few years, and he won the €5,000 Euro Finals of Poker just in January to snag his first win.

He's leading the rest of the pack right now, and it wouldn't be at all surprising to see him make a deep run this week.
