As our loyal readers know, when Amnon Filippi isn't crushing the biggest event in poker, he fills his time as a PokerWire Reporter (read Amnon's posts).  Amnon's chip counting ability had LA Mike worried for a time that he would get the job over Mike. 

Unfortunately for PokerWire, Amnon decided to give poker one more try.  It proved to be a good decision for him, as he has been leading an incredible field of HORSE players for the last two days.  If you'd like to learn more about the New Yorker, check out some of our multimedia content featuring Amnon:
