Richie Rich

Richie Smith raised to 3,000 before the flop and was called by Wendy Weissman. The flop came {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Smith checked, Weissman pushed all in for about 25,000, and after a period of contemplation Smith made the call.

Weissman had {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, but Smith had {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The turn {K-Diamonds} and river {5-Hearts} didn't change things, and Weissman is out. Smith is up to 70,000.

Smith tells us he won his entry via a satellite hosted by 2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up Steve Dannenmann. Looks like Smith currently has about twice what Dannenmann does, as Dannenmann has 36,000.
