Smith Keeping the Feature Fun

If you're looking to have a good time at the WSOP, having Gavin Smith at your table is a hell of a start. Gavin is up on the main stage, and he's keeping things fun for his table which appears to be filled with twenty-something online qualifiers, a few of whom barely look old enough to buy a beer in Canada. Well, part of the enjoyment is probably coming from chipping away at Gavin's stack which sits at a feeble 12,200 right now. But there's other fun to be had over there.

A few orbits ago, Smith was getting antsy and frustrated with the lack of energy and enthusiasm coming from his table mates. Everyone was just a little too serious. As such, he suggested a game where the winner of each pot would show one of their hole cards. Somehow, the table agreed, and thus there is a lot of card flashing going on over there.

While were were counting the stacks, a new game was started too. Smith suggested that a few of the players pick suits and play for $100 when their suit flushes the board. A young man across the table chose hearts, and three hearts came on board during the first hand of the game, earning him a tidy $300 to go along with all of the sponsorship dollars he's racking up for being patched up like a Nascar driver.

"God dammit!" Smith yelled in mock anger. "First f***ing hand!"
