Yevgeniy Timoshenko (above) is looking to win a Triple Crown of sorts: WPT, WSOP, and WCOOP title all in one year.

Dude (looks like a lady) won the WPT Championship in April, banking just over $2M. Then we won the WCOOP Main Event earlier this month for another $1.7M (followed by a $70k online win within 24 hours). Now at post time, with 58 players left (36 make the money), Timoshenko is making a run at the chip lead of the WSOP Europe Main Event.

Yev is currently fourth overall in chips. He trails Ian Munns (pic of Munns here…yep he’s probably British). Other big names remaining include Steve Zolotow, Dave Ulliott, Barry Shulman (really? man…), Amnon Filippi, Antoine Sauot, Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, James Akenhead, Antonio Esfandiari, Annette Obrestad (a woman), WSOP Last Woman Standing^TM Leo Margets, Men “The Master” Nguyen, and half-man, half-amazing Freddy Deeb.
