On the rail – Timofeev leads final 12 in PokerStars Championship Panama

As day 4 of the inaugural PokerStars Championship Panama main event came to a close, Russian Denis Timofeev was the man on top of the chip counts leading the way as the twelve man strong field returns for day 5 and play down to the final table later on tonight (CET).
The man who has gotten the most coverage from media down in Panama is undoubtedly American MMA fighter Tito Ortiz, as he fought and clawed on all the way to Day 4 of the main event where he eventually fell in 22nd place for a little more than $16,000 in his second only live poker tournament.
Of notable poker names that unfortunately fell on day 4 were Jason Wheeler, JC Alvarado and Jason Koon.
