.
Shortly afterwards, Smith was again seen in the middle of a raising contest, this time sitting in the big blind. He squeezed to 7,600 over a raise from under the gun and three flats. The action folded around to Bruno Portaro who studied Smith's remaining stack and then placed forward what looked like a covering pile of chips. Smith, to make sure, announced he was all in and Portaro declared the call for Smith's 38,600.
Smith:
Portaro:
Smith was ahead and Portaro couldn't catch up on the 
board, shipping a juicy double to the high stakes superstar.

With late registration still open until the start of Day 2, the 2020 Aussie Millions has reached 376 entrants on Flight 3 of the Main Event.
Aussie Millions Tournament Director Joel Williams praised his team and the role they played in this accomplishment.
"We had 800 exactly in 2018, but that was with 25 players registering on Day 2. Then last year we broke that record with 822 with around 26 on Day 2. So this year it's a real milestone.
"It's a testament to the staff, dealers and everyone involved at the Aussie Millions that we have reached this number.
"We're still expecting maybe 20-25 more tomorrow, and that's fairly fluid. Could be ten could be 40 but to hit 800 tonight is a monumental achievement."
