Does This Guy Look like a Math Teacher?

This was the question we were greeted with by Kathy Liebert as we were counting Valentin Vornicu's chip stack. Vornicu is a young part-time professional player who also works as a math teacher as well. He was quick to point out that he's not a professor, and proceeded to explain the difference between a teacher and professor.

Well Vornicu may be quitting his day job after this series. Vornicu already won a ring in the 6-max event this week, and he is off to a great start, sitting on 69,000, which is the chip lead by our estimation.
