Craig Smith Tops 100,000 on Table Tuned to Radio Dunwoodie

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

Thomas Dunwoodie is performing what can only be described as a one-man variety show, keeping up a chain of banter with his neighbour Jonathan Bowers while stopping to croon "You are so beautiful... to me!" or, mysteriously, show someone his toes.

Somehow poker is still being played; Craig Smith just busted a player to boost his stack to 104,000 in a battle of the (just) overpairs. Bowers opened preflop for 3,500, called by the cutoff, button, small blind Smith and big blind Nikolay Ponomarev.

The flop brought the {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and checks to the button, who jammed for 35,800. Smith re-raised all in; the rest of the players in the hand suddenly weren't.

Smith: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Button: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The bigger overpair held over the {5-Hearts}{a-Spades} turn and river. Smith, who apparently travelled down with the Edinburgh gang of Usman Ulhaq and Gary Bertram, looks to have outlasted his buddies on Day 1c.
