Balazs Botond - what a great name to see at the top of the leaderboard! Hungarian-born Botond will indeed bring the biggest amount of chips to the table when Day 3 play at EPT Campione begins Thursday.
Although he has live tournament experience, Botond (2012 PTPR Rank: NR) does find himself in somewhat unfamiliar territory. We'll have to wait on Thursday to see if Botond can keep his momentum.
2011 EPT Tallin winner Ronnie Kaiser (2012 PTPR Rank: NR) is second in chips, Kaiser is almost 150K in chips behind the chip leader.
A few other big names have Top 10 stacks as Day 3 looms ... 2010 EPT London Champion David Vamplew (2012 PTPR Rank: NR) sits fourth, 2009 WPT Borgata Open winner Olivier Busquet (2012 PTPR Rank: 620th) is seventh and former EPT Prague and WPT Bratislava champ Roberto Romanello (2012 PTPR Rank: NR) is currently in 8th position.
