Tehan Takes Chip Lead at WPT Mandalay Bay

Joe Tehan, whose last name is too close to "Tehran" for our liking, kind of like the same way that Barack Obama, whose speech at the Democratic Convention in '04 we still don't "get" why everyone thought was so good, sounds too much like "Osama" and we could never vote for him if he ran for President of the United States of America, yes we are that whatever-the-appropriate-word-we're-looking-for-here-is, has taken the chip lead at the WPT Mandalay Bay. 

Here's where we get lazy on you: Although you may have never heard of him, this ain't no Average Joe.  Tehan has a LA Poker Classic event win under his belt, and a second at a Bellagio Five-Diamond Classic event.

Further laziness: Only 18 remain, including Yukon Booth, Carlos Mortensen, "Miami" John, Tim Phan, and Tony Ma.  Get full chip counts at Poker Wire.
