Good enough for unknown player to be chip leader at such a big event but i don't think he won't last long. min raise with top pair, lol, that guy must be mad at himself I think one of the big guys will get him eventually.

Amir Lehavot recently started a poker website (with strategy content) which can be found at: www.pokerwit.com. The site contains Lehavot’s comments about key hands he played at various times during the WSOP. It also has the hand (WSOP Main Event 09, Day 2, Level 9, Hand 2) that made him chip leader on day 2. It's pretty interesting and has alredy some comments from other players.
