[user101598]

Mark "Pegasus" Smith at another WSOPC event

Mark "Pegasus" Smith, who started the level with around 5,000 in chips, his climbed back to the starting stack of 20,000 chips. It may be half of the average stack, but Smith doesn't seem phased.

"You know how many chips I have?" he said to one of our bloggers, grinning. "Enough to win this damn thing."

Smith knows a lot about winning - he took down the 2006 $5,000 WSOPC Main Event in Tunica, and has added four more gold rings since. Kyle Cartwright is the only player in WSOPC history whose been able to win five events.

Also at the table is Nick Jivkov. Jivkov has two WSOPC rings after winning Event 9 last night, and took down Event 5 at the 2012 WSOP, pocketing $189,818 in the process.
