Always one for a good tale, Gavin Smith was just regaling his table with a story about a recent prop bet (something he's also rather fond of). Smith wagered $1,000 against a young military kid on which man could take the most slaps to the stomach. When neither of them were backing down from hand slaps, they switched over to clipboards to get things moving.

Smith told his table that the kid was never going to back down, so he admitted defeat and paid his bet. Down $1,000, Gavin still had to live with the pain of broken blood vessels in his abdomen for more than a month.

Oh, and for what it's worth, the red-bellied pro is sitting on 10,200 chips right now.
